Answer:
slope = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = 1, 3 )
m = [tex]\frac{3-(-9)}{1-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3+9}{-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{-3}[/tex] = - 4
Answer:
[tex]m=-4[/tex]; the slope is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]slope=\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]
coordinates: (4,-9) (1,3)
[tex]\frac{3-(-9)}{1-4}=\frac{-12}{-3} =-4[/tex]
= -4 is your answer
hope this helped
