➷  slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitute in the values

slope = (3-8)/(-6-9)

Solve:

slope = 1/3

Answer 2

Hey!

To find this answer all we have to do is use the point-slope formula, then plug in the points given:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\frac{3-8}{-6-9}\\ \frac{-5}{-15}\\\frac{1}{3}$

So 1/3 is our answer
