Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points R(11, 6) and S(9, -1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (-1 -6)/(9 - 11)

  -7 / -2

   7/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$m = \frac{7}{2}$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula:

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

Plug in the numbers (coordinates) given:

$m = \frac{-1-6}{9-11}$

$m = \frac{-7}{-2}$       →       $m = \frac{7}{2}$
