Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (9,5) and (21,1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can get the slope of a line with the following equation y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Thus the unsimplified answer is -4/12, but this needs to be simplified. By finding the least common denominator, you can make slopes easier to use. Using this method, the answer is -1/3
