Question

find the slope of the line through each pair of points. (9, 16) , (14, -12)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{28}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, 16) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (14, - 12)

m = $\frac{-12-16}{14-9}$ = $\frac{-28}{5}$ = - $\frac{28}{5}$
