Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points: (5, -3) and (-1,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given the points (5, -3) (-1, 6).

$\frac{6-(-3)}{-1-5}=\frac{9}{-6} =-\frac{9}{6}=\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}$
