find the slope of the line contain the given pair of points (-6,4) and (1,0)

Sagot :

[tex](-6,4) \\ x_1=-6 \\ y_1=4 \\ \\ (1,0) \\ x_2=1 \\ y_2=0 \\ \\ \hbox{the slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{0-4}{1-(-6)}=\frac{-4}{1+6}=-\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

The slope is -4/7.
[tex]m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1}}{ x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{0 - 4}{1 - (-6)} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{0 - 4}{1 + 6} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-4}{7} [/tex]
