Question

(-6,3)(8,-1) what is the slope

Answer 1

The formula of a slope m:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (-6, 3) and (8, -1). Substitute:

`m=(-1-3)/(8-(-6))=(-4)/(8+6)=(-4)/(14)=-(2)/(7)`

Answer 2

Hi there!

Explanation:

`Slope=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(Rise)/(Run)`

`((-1)-3)/(8-(-6))=(-1-3)/(8+6)=(-4)/(14)=(-4/2)/(14/2)=(-2)/(7)=-(2)/(7)`

Slope is -2/7.

Final answer is -2/7.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)
