Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 0) and (-3, 9).

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ - (9)/(11) }}`

Explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through the two points can be found by using the formula;

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

where

m represents the slope

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the points

From the question the points are (8, 0) and (-3, 9).

`\therefore \: m = (0 - 9)/(8 - - 3) = ( - 9)/(8 + 3) = - \cfrac{9}{11}`
