Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, minus, 6, comma, minus, 6, right bracket(−6,−6) and left bracket, minus, 9, comma, minus, 5, right bracket(−9,−5)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

-1/3

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run

= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5 - -6) / (-9 - -6)

= (-5+6) / (-9+6)

= 1/-3 = so -1/3
