Question

Find the slope of the line through the pair of points.

L(–9, 6), M(–1, –9)

Answer 1

slope y=mx+b

Answer 2

slope can be found by Y2 - Y1 over X2 - X1.

Answer 3

thats slope intersept form if u want to know

Answer 4

(- 9,6).....x1 = -9 and y1 = 6
(-1,- 9)...x2 = -1 and y2 = - 9

slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
now just sub and pay close attention to your signs...

slope = (-9 - (-1) / (6 - (- 9)
can u finish ? keep in mind, two negatives multiplied together equal a positive.
