Find the slope of the line that contains the following pair of points (1,6) and (9,-4)

Sagot :

Answer:

-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }[/tex]

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate

Slope of line

[tex] = \frac{6 - ( - 4)}{1 - 9} \\ = \frac{6 + 4}{ - 8} \\ = - \frac{10}{8} \\ = - \frac{5}{4} \\ = - 1.25[/tex]
