What is the slope of the line through (-9,6) and (-6,-9)

1 answer:

7 0

$\text{The slope formula:}\ m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{We have:}\\(-9;\ 6)\to x_1=-9;\ y_1=6\\(-6;\ -9)\to x_2=-6;\ y_2=-9\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{-9-6}{-6-(-9)}=\dfrac{-15}{-6+9}=\dfrac{-15}{3}=-5$

Answer: m = -5

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The angle}\ x^o\ \text{and}\ 64^o\ \text{together from both sidesr form a right angle.}\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\x^o+64^o=90^o\qquad\text{subtract}\ 64^o\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^o+64^o=90^o-64^o\\\\x^o=26^o$
