Question

Help me find the slope on the line? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

(1, 9) and (11,1)

slope
= (9 - 1)/(1 - 11)
= 8 /-10
= -4/5
= - 0.8

answer
slope = - 0.8

Answer 2

Hoi!

To find the slope of a line, we should first identify two points on the line. Two points I've identified are at (1, 9) and (6, 5).

Now we use the formula y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁ to find the slope.

y₂ = 5
y₁ = 9
x₂ = 6
x₁ = 1

$\frac{5 - 9}{6 - 1} = \frac{-4}{4}$ = -1

The slope is -1. :)
