Alg I

  • Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 6)

Point (1, 9)

Step 2: Find slope m

  1. Substitute:                    [tex]m=\frac{9-6}{1-2}[/tex]
  2. Subtract:                       [tex]m=\frac{3}{-1}[/tex]
  3. Divide:                           [tex]m=-3[/tex]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the slope is the change in y/ the change x.

In order to find the change in y we have to subtract the second y (9) by the first y(6) and do the same for x.

That will be (9 - 6)/(1 - 2) = 3/-1 = -3

Slope is -3
