Question

What is the slope (2,-9) (-2,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

-12/4=-3

I got -12 but subtracting two y values, and got 4 by subtracting two x values.

Formula to find slope is= change of y/ change of x=

-12/4= 3

• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, -9)

Point (-2, 3)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                     $\displaystyle m=\frac{3+9}{-2-2}$
2. [Frac] Add/Subtract:             $\displaystyle m=\frac{12}{-4}$
3. [Frac] Divide:                        $\displaystyle m=-3$
