Answer: slope = - 95
Step-by-step explanation:
The question gives us two points, (87, 91) and (88, -4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (91 - (- 4)) ÷ (87 - 88)
= - 95
Checking my answer:
Finding the Equation
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
⇒ y - (-4) = - 95 (x - 88)
y + 4 = - 95 (x - 88)
To test my answer, I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information provided in the question and my answer.
