Question

What is the slope of the line determined by the points (5,-3) and (-9,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{3}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 9, - 6)

m = $\frac{-6+3}{-9-5}$ = $\frac{-3}{-14}$ = $\frac{3}{14}$
