Question

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?

Answer 1

The slope would be -9/7. Simply do rise over run and since the rise is -9 (one y point to the other) and the run is 7 (one x point to the other)

Answer 2

the slope of the line is -$\frac{9}{7}$

I used the equation $\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_2-x_1}$

so for this problem, the equation would be $\frac{-3-6}{5+2} = -\frac{9}{7}$
