What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) (-3, 9)
2 answers:
To find the slope, you can use the equation y2-y1 divided by x2 - x1. When you plug in the numbers from the problem, the equation becomes 9-6/-3-(-9). We know that subtracting by a negative is the same as adding a positive, so the equation becomes 9-6/-3+9. When you solve this, it becomes 3/6, which can be simplified to become 1/2. I have attached an image to hopefully make this easier for you to understand because I know it’s a bit confusing written out in words (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone). If there is anything that you need me to clarify, please let me know and I will be happy to help!
