Question

Find the slope from points (9,-13), (7,-11)? That’s what my question is for my math homework.

Answer 1

Givens.

The points are (9, -13) and (7, -11).

Use the slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where,

$\begin{gathered} x_1=9,x_2=7 \\ y_1=-13,y_2=-11 \end{gathered}$$m=\frac{-11-(-13)}{7-9}=\frac{-11+13}{-2}=\frac{2}{-2}=-1$

Therefore, the slope is -1.
