Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (9, 1) and (-3, -3). Describe the slope as positive, negative, zero, or undefined. The slope equals The slope is (select)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given points:-

• (9,1)
• (-3,-3)

We have to find slope =m

• As we know that

${\boxed{\sf Slope_{(m)}=\dfrac {y _2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}$

• Substitute the values

$\qquad {:}\longrightarrow\sf m=\dfrac {(-3-1)}{(-3-9)}$

$\qquad {:}\longrightarrow\sf m=\dfrac {-4}{-12}$

$\qquad {:}\longrightarrow\sf m={\dfrac {1}{3}}$

$\therefore\sf Slope\;of\;the\:line=\dfrac {1}{3}(undefined)$
