Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points. R(-3, 5), S(3, -2) 7/6 7/6 undefined

Answer 1

Answer:

-\frac{7}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula for the segment that joins any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$:

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

which in our case gives:

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-2-5}{3-(-3)}=\frac{-7}{6} =-\frac{7}{6}$
