Question

Find the slope of ther line that goes through the points (-9,-4) and (-3,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 6)

m = $\frac{-6+4}{-3+9}$ = $\frac{-2}{6}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$
