Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the coordinates (3,-6) and (-9,2)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is useful for this.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (2 -(-6))/(-9 -3) = 8/-12

  m = -2/3

The slope of the line is -2/3.
