Question

How do I find the slope of the line containing the two points (9,0) and (-5,6)

Answer 1

You can find the slope using the following formula:

m=$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation.

m=$\frac{6-0}{-5-9}$

Simplify.

m=$\frac{6}{-14}$

m=-$\frac{3}{7}$
