What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,6) and (6,-3)?

m = -9/8 (slope)

This means 9 down, and 8 right.

_________________________

To calculate the slope, just use this formula:

y2 or x2 can also be thought of as just y and x. This is because only a slope, and one point is needed to solve for another point that fits on the line.

Given point 1 : (-2,6), and point 2 : (6,-3).

We can find slope by: point 2y - point 1y/ point 2x - point 1x =

(-3-6)/(6-(-2)) = (-9)/(8) = -9/8

y=−9/2x+10

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve for y.

0−9x−2y=−20

step 1: add 9x to both sides.

−9x−2y+9x=−20+9x

−2y=9x−20

step 2: divide both sides by -2.

−2y

−2

=

9x−20
