Question

The slope of the line containing the points (6, 4) and (-5, 3) is:

A. 1/11
B. 1
C. -1

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-4}{-5-6}\implies \cfrac{-1}{-11}\implies \cfrac{1}{11}`

Answer 2

1/11
