Question

Use the slope formula to find the in the line through the points p1 and p2p1 = (7, -6). p2 = ( - 9, 3)

Answer 1

Given the points: (7, -6) and (-9, 3)

slope formula:

$m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ }$

Replacing the coordinates in the formula:

$m\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ + 6}}{-9\text{ - 7}}\text{ = -}\frac{9}{16}$
