Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-3,3) and (6,-8)

Answer 1

`\displaystyle (-11)/(9)`

Explanation:

We will use the equation of change in y over change in x to solve for the slope of the line. Then, we will simplify.

`\displaystyle (y_(2)-y_1 )/(x_2-x_1)`

`\displaystyle (-8-3)/(6--3)`

`\displaystyle (-8-3)/(6+3)`

`\displaystyle (-11)/(9)`
