Question

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (5, 9)(11, - 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$
