Question

Whatis the answer to the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula given in the question to solve for the slope. The $m$ is the variable representing the slope. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ values are x and y values of one point. The $x_2$ and $y_2$  are x and y values of another point.

So, use the x and y values of the points given and substitute them in the correct order into the formula:

$m = \frac{(7)-(9)}{(10)-(-6)}\\m = \frac{7-9}{10+6} \\m = \frac{-2}{16} \\m = -\frac{1}{8}$

Thus, the slope is $-\frac{1}{8}$.
