Question

Please help. (There is a empty yellow box with an = before it at the end, I couldn’t fit it into the picture.)

Answer 1

$-2$

1) In this question, we need to find the slope (i.e. the measure of how steep is that line between two given points).

2) So, we can write out the slope-formula:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-9}{4-1}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2 \\ m=\frac{change\: in\: y}{change\: in\: x}=\frac{3-9}{4-1}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2 \end{gathered}$

Or find it using to the way this question was made.

3) Thus, the answer is -2
