Answer: [tex]m = -3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is calculated with the formula :
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} =-1[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 2[/tex]
[tex]y_{1} = 6[/tex]
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = [tex]-3[/tex]
Substituting into the formula , we have
[tex]m = \frac{-3-6}{2-(-1)}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-9}{3}[/tex]
[tex]m = -3[/tex]
