Question

A line intersects the points
(5, 2) and (6, -9).
What is the slope of the line in
simplest form?
m = [?]

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -11

Explanation:

$\sf slope \formula:\boxed{\frac{\sf y2-y1}{\sf x2-x1} }$

• given coordinates: (5, 2) and (6, -9)

using this formula:

$\rightarrow \frac{-9-2}{6-5}$

$\rightarrow -11$
