Question

(-6,3)(8,-1) what is the slope

Answer 1

The formula of a slope m:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-6, 3) and (8, -1). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-1-3}{8-(-6)}=\dfrac{-4}{8+6}=\dfrac{-4}{14}=-\dfrac{2}{7}$

Answer 2

Hi there!

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{Rise}{Run}$

$\frac{(-1)-3}{8-(-6)}=\frac{-1-3}{8+6}=\frac{-4}{14}=\frac{-4/2}{14/2}=\frac{-2}{7}=-\frac{2}{7}$

Slope is -2/7.

Final answer is -2/7.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)
