Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (2, 16). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

m = -9/4

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Simply plug in the coordinates into the slope formula:

m = (16 - 7)/(2 - 6)

m = 9/-4

m = -9/4
