Question

anonymous · Answer

Use the slope formula. 

(-1 + 9)/(3 - 2) = 4
So, your slope (m) is 4

katrinakaif · Answer

The formula for a slope is:
y2-y1
----
x2-x1

Using your given points, (2,-9) wil be (x1,y1)
while (3,-1) would be (x2,y2)

Plug it into the formula  and remember, negative multipled by a negative is a positive.

4 the answer I got an 8

katrinakaif · Answer

Lets try it: 
y2-y1
----
x2-x1

-1 - (-9)
-------
3 - 2 
which gives you
-1 + 9 
------
1

8/1, is your answer.
