Question

what is the slope of the line ? It's passing through the points of -6 and 9. Write answer as a simplified fraction

Answer 1

We'll need more information here, but the slope between two points is equal to the difference in their y values over the difference in their x values:
\[m=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }\]

Answer 2

9/-6 ?

Answer 3

??

Answer 4

Please post the problem EXACTLY as written.

Answer 5

We need more information.

Answer 6

all it says is whats the slope of the line and theres a picture of a graph .

Answer 7

Then find two points on the line and post them.

Answer 8

It wont let me copy the graph. But theres a line passing through the points of -6 and 9 which i already said.

Answer 9

A point has two coordinates...an x and a y coordinate. That's why no one has been able to help you. You don't give us two ordered pairs.

Answer 10

An ordered pair looks like this: (-3,5)

Answer 11

If we know two ordered pairs that are on the line, we can find the slope.

Answer 12

(-6,0) and (9,0)

Answer 13

slope =
\[m=\frac{y _{2}-y _{1}}{x _{2}-x _{1}}\]

Answer 14

Also, I think at least one of your ordered pairs is incorrect because a line cannot cross the x axis two times.

Answer 15

hold on . im going to draw the graph

Answer 16

Using @Mertsj 's formula and your two points, slope is zero.
