Question

What is the slope of the line through (-9,6)(−9,6)(, minus, 9, comma, 6, )and (-3,9)(−3,9)(, minus, 3, comma, 9, )?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m of a linear equation y = mx + b that goes through point (-9,6) and point (-3, 9) would have the following formula

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{9 - 6}{-3 - (-9)} = \frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}$ or 0.5

Where $(x_1,y_1), (x_2, y_2)$ are the coordinates of the 2 points that this line goes through
