Question

Find the slope of the line containing the given points.f(6) = 2 and f(10) = -9Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.M=

Answer 1

For this question, we use the formula for the slope of a line:

$s=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

Substituting the given points (6,2) and (10,-9) we get:

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{2-(-9)}{6-10}=\frac{11}{-4} \\ s=-\frac{11}{4} \end{gathered}$
