• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (9, -1)

Point (4, -11)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                             $\displaystyle m=\frac{-11+1}{4-9}$
2. [Fraction] Add/Subtract:                                                                                 $\displaystyle m=\frac{-10}{-5}$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                            $\displaystyle m=2$

Answer 2

Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-11-(-1)}{4-9}$You use the slope equation so -11 -(-1) would be -11+1 because the negatives cancel each other out and you get -10. Then 4-9 is -5 and then -10 divided by -5 is a positive 2.
