<h2>Answer: slope = - 95</h2><h2>
</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question gives us two points, (87, 91) and (88, -4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
<u> </u>
<u>Finding the Slope</u>
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (91 - (- 4)) ÷ (87 - 88)
= - 95

<em><u>Checking my answer:</u></em>
<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:
⇒ y - (-4) = - 95 (x - 88)
y + 4 = - 95 (x - 88)
