Question

Find the slope of the line that connects the two points (-6, 8) and (2,-1) please explain also

Answer 1

-9/8. The formula for slope is (Y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

Answer 2

<u />$m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }$

$m = \frac{-1 - 8}{2 - (-6)}$

$m = \frac{-9}{2 + 6}$

$m = \frac{-9}{8}$
