Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the following pair of points: (-3,5) and (9,2) m =

Answer 1

Answer:

m=-1/4

Explanation:

Given the line that passes through the pair of points: (-3,5) and (9,2).

The slope of the line is obtained using the formula below:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}$

Substituting the given points, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{5-2}{-3-9} \\ =\frac{3}{-12} \\ =-\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

The slope of the line, m=-1/4.
