What is the slope of the line shown below (9,1) (-3,-7)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (1 + 7)/(9 + 3)

= 8 / 12

= 2/3

answer

2/3

To find slope, use the formula:

slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Note that it doesn't matter which one you set as (₁), or (₂), but you must set them correctly. Let:

(x₁, y₁) = (9,1)

(x₂, y₂) = (-3,-7)

Set each to corresponding variables.

(-7 - 1)/(-3 - 9)

Simplify.

-8/-12

Simplify. Divide -4 from the numerator and denominator

(-8/-12)/(-4/-4) = 2/3

2/3 is the slope of the line.

hope this helps

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x

i honestly dont know
