Question

Which of the following is the slope between the points (-6, 0) and (2, -9)?

8/9, -8/9, 9/8, or -9/8

Answer 1

Slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) Can you use this info ?

Answer 2

For 2 points \( (x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), the slope is:
\[ \text{slope} =\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 3

i did not get any of the answers

Answer 4

say \((-6, 0)\) is \((x_1, y_1)\) and
\((2, -9)\) is \((x_2, y_2)\)

Answer 5

i get 4/9

Answer 6

You should get -9/8
