Question 158883
FIND THE SLOPE OF THE LINE CONTAINING THE PAIR OF POINTS: (-9-5),(4-3)
:
You should know the slope formula: m = {{{(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}}}
;
Assign the given points as follows;
x1 = -9; y1 = -5
x2 = 4; y2 = -3
:
m = {{{(-3 - (-5))/(4 - (-9))}}}
minus a minus is a plus therefore:
m = {{{(-3 + 5)/(4 + 9)}}} = {{{2/13}}} is the slope
