Question

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (1, 9) and (4, 3). What is the slope of a line that contains the points (1, 9) and (4, 3)? The slope of the line is .

Answer 1

-2 on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

the coordinate is (1, 9) and (4, 3)

x1=1

y1=9

x2=4

y2=3

the expression for the slope of a line is given as

`slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

substitute our data into the expression we have

`slope=(3-9)/(`4-11)\\\\slope= (-6)/(3) \\\\slope=-2`

The slope of the line is -2
