Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points? 9 X 17 13 21 -24 -21 -18 Y - -15 slope:

Answer 1

We have to use the slope formula

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

Let's replace the points (9,-24) and (13,-21). Where

`\begin{gathered} x_1=9 \\ x_2=13 \\ y_1=-24 \\ y_2=-21 \end{gathered}`
`m=(-21-(-24))/(13-9)=(-21+24)/(4)=(3)/(4)`

Hence, the slope is 3/4.
