i can't find the slope to (3,-4) and (-6,1) can you help please

Question

anonymous · Answer

u need to find the slope?

anonymous · Answer

Ya it says to find the slope of the line passing through with the given points (3,-4) (-6,1)

anonymous · Answer

do u no the slope formula?

anonymous · Answer

I think it is m=y2-y
                           x2-x1 but Im not sure Im all confused

anonymous · Answer

I thought it was$$\frac{ x2-x1 }{ y2-y1 }$$ im not suree....u should look it up fist

tkhunny · Answer

Upside-down!  Get the4 y's in the numerator.

anonymous · Answer

Ok but idk how to work it

tkhunny · Answer

You can't subtract?

 (3,-4) and (-6,1) 

y2 - y1 ==> 1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5
x2 - x1 ==> -6 - 3 = -9

I'm pretty sure you can do that.

anonymous · Answer

I did that and got it wrong so um ya

anonymous · Answer

This is what you should do:
first take the slope formula which is $$m=\frac{ y _{2-} y _{1}}{ {x _{2}-x _{1}} }$$ so you plugin the points and you get $$m=\frac{ 1-\left( -4 \right) }{-6-3  }=\frac{ 1+4}{ -9 }=\frac{ 5 }{ -9}=-\frac{ 5 }{ 9}$$
Hope this helps! give me a medal if it does :) I'd appreciate it
