Question

What’s the slope of (9,3) and (2,11)

Answer 1

`\boxed {m = -(8)/(7)}`

Explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to help you determine the slope of two given points:

`m =(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

First point:
`(x_(1), y_(1))`

Second point:
`(x_(2), y_(2))`

-Apply the two given points onto the formula:

First point:
`(9, 3)`

Second point:
`(2, 11)`

`m =(11 - 3)/(2 - 9)`

-Solve for the slope:

`m =(11 - 3)/(2 - 9)`

`m =(8)/(-7)`

`\boxed {m = -(8)/(7)}`

Therefore, the slope is
`-(8)/(7)`.

Answer 2

slope = -
`(8)/(7)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 11)

m =
`(11-3)/(2-9)` =
`(8)/(-7)` = -
`(8)/(7)`
