Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (7,-9) and (6,-11)

Answer 1

m = 2

Explanation:

We can find the distance of the two points from the difference between the two x and the two y positions. From here, using rise over run, we can find the slope.

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) (-9 - (-11))/(7-6) = (2)/(1) = 2`
