Question

what is the slope kf the line that passes through (5,-11) and (-9,17)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is:

$m=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

• (5, -11)

• (-9, 17)

Finding the slope between the points using the formula

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(5,\:-11\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-9,\:17\right)$

$m=\frac{17-\left(-11\right)}{-9-5}$

$m=-2$

Therefore, the slope is:

$m=-2$

Thus, option A is true.
