Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,-6) and (-8,9)? Write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slop = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

= {9 -(-6)}/{(-8)-1}

= 15/-9

= -1.66

Answer 2

Slope is the change in y over the change in x

Slope = (9 - -6)/( -8 -1)

Slope = 15/-9

Slope = -15/9

Simlipy:

Slope = -5/3
