Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, -11)and (-9, 17)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

You can plug in the numbers given in the problem:

$\frac{(17+11)}{(-9-5)}$

$-\frac{28}{14}$

Then simplify to -2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 is the slope for the points listed above.
