Question

What is the slope of (-1,6) and (2,-3)

Answer 1

Answer: $m = -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is calculated with the formula :

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

$x_{1} =-1$

$x_{2} = 2$

$y_{1} = 6$

$y_{2}$ = $-3$

Substituting into the formula , we have

$m = \frac{-3-6}{2-(-1)}$

$m = \frac{-9}{3}$

$m = -3$
