Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,-9) and )1,-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (-3 - 2) / (1 - 2) = -5 / -1 = 5

Answer 2

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{slope =} 6}$

We can calculate slope using the following formula:

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Plug in the corresponding points:

$slope = \frac{-9-(-3)}{2-1}$

Simplify:

$slope = \frac{-6}{1} = -6$
