Question

How do I find the slope of the line containing the two points (9,0) and (-5,6)

Answer 1

• Slope Formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So using the slope formula, plug in the two points and solve for it as such:

$\frac{0-6}{9-(-5)}=-\frac{6}{14}\div \frac{2}{2}=-\frac{3}{7}$

The slope is -3/7.
