Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,-9) and )1,-3)

nignag [31]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{slope =} 6}$

We can calculate slope using the following formula:

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

Plug in the corresponding points:

$slope = \frac{-9-(-3)}{2-1}$

Simplify:

$slope = \frac{-6}{1} = -6$

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the given points:

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The answer is y= -1/3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(9, -8) and (-6, -3)

m= y²-y¹/x²-x1

m= (-3)-(-8)/(-6)-9

m= 5/-15

m=-1/3

y=mx+b

y=-1/3x+b

-3=-1/3(-6)+b

-3=2+b

-2 -2

-5=b

The answer is y=-1/3x-5
