Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 13) and (9, 10).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

The slope between (5, 13) and (9, 10) is:

• 
  `m=-(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given the points

• (5, 13)
• (9, 10)

Finding the slope between (5, 13) and (9, 10)

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(10-13)/(9-5)`

`m=-(3)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope between (5, 13) and (9, 10) is:

• 
  `m=-(3)/(4)`
