Question

Find the slope of (1,6) (-9,-20)

Answer 1

To find the slope of two points you use the formula: $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

In this case we can assume that:

$y_{2}$  = -20

$y_{1} =6$

$x_{2} = - 9$

$x_{1} = 1$

Plug the above into the equation I gave you at the start and solve:

$\frac{-20 - 6}{-9 - 1}$

$\frac{-26}{-10}$

Now reduce:

$\frac{26}{10}$÷2

$\frac{13}{5}$

^^^Slope for these two points

Hope this helped!
