Question

How to find the slope of a line passing through (-3,3) , (-5,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope, m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_ 1}$    ,    $[ \ (x_ 1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -3 , 3 ) , \ (x_2 , y _ 2 ) = ( - 5 , 9 ) \ ]$

$slope = \frac{9 - 3}{-4 - ( -3 )} = \frac{6}{-5 + 3} = \frac{6}{-2} = -3$
