Question

Find the slope of the line passing through (-3, 7) and (6, -11)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}$

From the question we have

$m = \frac{ - 11 - 7}{6 - - 3} = \frac{ - 18}{6 +3 } = - \frac{18}{9} = - 2$

We have the final answer as

- 2

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

y= -2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure it checks out:

7= -2(-3)+1

7= 6+1

7= 7✓

-11= -2(6)+1

-11= -12+1

-11= -11✓

It checks out :)
