<h2>Answer: slope = - ¹³/₁₇ </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question gives us two points, (9,-6) and (-8,7), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
<u>Finding the Slope </u>
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (7 - (- 6)) ÷ (-8 - 9)
= - ¹³/₁₇
<em><u>Checking my answer:</u></em>
Finding the Equation
<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:</em>
<em> ⇒ </em><em>y - (-6) = - ¹³/₁₇ (x - 9)</em>
