Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 9) and (9, 5).
[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}\diamond[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}\xrightarrow {slope\:formula\:below} \\ $\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ \\ \end{minipage}}}[/tex]
Substitute 5 for y₂, 9 for y₁, 9 for x₂ and 6 for x₁:-
[tex]\boxed{\frac{5-9}{9-6}}[/tex]
On simplification,
↬ [tex]\boxed{\frac{-4}{3}}[/tex]
►So we conclude that the slope of the line is
►[tex]\boxed{-\frac{4}{3}}[/tex] ◀︎
