Answer: ¹/₄₃
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (-85 - (-83)) ÷ (-11 - 75)
= -2 ÷ -86
= ¹/₄₃
Checking my answer:
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. If the line passes through both of the points then we calculated the slope correctly.
⇒ y - (-83) = ¹/₄₃ (x - 75)
⇒ y + 83 = ¹/₄₃ (x - 75)
I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information equation (including the slope) and the points given.
