Question

Determine the slope of the line between (-6,13) and (1,11)

Answer 1

We can find the slope using the following formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Let:

$\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-6,13) \\ (x2,y2)=(1,11) \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$m=\frac{11-13}{1-(-6)}=\frac{-2}{7}=-\frac{2}{7}$

Answer:

$-\frac{2}{7}$
