Question

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?

Answer 1

the slope of the line is -
`(9)/(7)`

I used the equation
`( y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_2-x_1)`

so for this problem, the equation would be
`(-3-6)/(5+2) = -(9)/(7)`

Answer 2

The slope would be -9/7. Simply do rise over run and since the rise is -9 (one y point to the other) and the run is 7 (one x point to the other)
