Question

What is the slope of the line through (6,9)(6,9)(, 6, comma, 9, )and (7,1)(7,1)(, 7, comma, 1, )?

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope of the given line is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

(6,9) and (7,1)

To find the slope of the given line we use formula

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

the value of x1 is 6 and y1 is 9

the value x2 is 7 and y2 is 1

plug in the value in the slope formula

$slope = \frac{1-9}{7-6}=\frac{-8}{1}=-8$

the slope of the given line is -8
