Question

please help me, i have no clue what to do all it says is find the slopeof the line that passes through the given two points using ratio method.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Δy = 9

Δx = -6

Slope = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is the change in y (Δy) over change in x (Δx).

Δy = $y_2-y_1$

Δx = $x_2-x_1$

We are given the points of (5,-3) and (-1,6).

$m=\frac{6-(-3)}{-1-5}=\frac{9}{-6}=\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}$

The slope is -3/2.

Hope this helps.
