Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{-14}{11}$

General Formula and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (9, -5)

Point (-2, 9)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{9+5}{-2-9}$
2. Add/Subtract:               $m=\frac{14}{-11}$
3. Rewrite:                        $m=\frac{-14}{11}$
