Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through(9,36) (93,-10)?

Answer 1

`m = -(23)/(42)`

Explanation:

here is the equation for slope (m):

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

where:

y₂ = y-coordinate of 2nd point = -10

y₁ = y-coordinate of 1st point = 36

x₂ = x-coordinate of 2nd point = 93

x₁ = x-coordinate of 1st point = 9

plug values into equation:

`m =(-10-36)/(93-9) \\\\m = (-46)/(84) \\`

reduce the fraction:

`m = -(23)/(42)`
