Question

please help me, i have no clue what to do all it says is find the slopeof the line that passes through the given two points using ratio method.​

Answer 1

Δy = 9

Δx = -6

Slope = -3/2

Explanation:

The slope formula is the change in y (Δy) over change in x (Δx).

Δy =
`y_2-y_1`

Δx =
`x_2-x_1`

We are given the points of (5,-3) and (-1,6).

`m=(6-(-3))/(-1-5)=(9)/(-6)=\boxed{-(3)/(2)}`

The slope is -3/2.

Hope this helps.
