Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points. 9) (17, -6), (-11,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{13}{28}$

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 ) = (17, - 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 11, 7 )

m = $\frac{7-(-6)}{-11-17}$ = $\frac{7+6}{-28}$ = - $\frac{13}{28}$
