Question

What is the slope of the line shown below (3 9)(-4 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 2 )

m = $\frac{2-9}{-4-3}$ = $\frac{-7}{-7}$ = 1
