To find the slope the formula is m=Y2-Y1 / X2-X1
\n" ); document.write( "So here X1 is= -3 and X2 is= 5
\n" ); document.write( "And Y1 is= 9 and Y2 is=7
\n" ); document.write( "And put the value now in formula the slope will come.
\n" ); document.write( "m= 7-9/5-(-3)
\n" ); document.write( "m=-3/8
\n" ); document.write( "so the slope is -3/8
\n" ); document.write( "Now we have to find the Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "So the formula is find the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y-Y1=m(X-X1)
\n" ); document.write( "put the values
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=-3/8(X-(-3))
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=-3x/8 - 9/8
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x/8 - 9/8 +9
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x/8 - (9/8-9/1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x/8+63/8 this is the equation
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
