Question

Whats the slope of the 2 points (6,-6) & (-1,-3)

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-6)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-1}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{-3+6}{-7}\implies -\cfrac{3}{7}$
