Find the slope of the following points(8,9) and (10,-9)
The formula for finding the slope is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x2)
so it would be
-9 - 9 / 10 - 8 = -18/2 = -9 is the slope?
To find the slope of the line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (8, 9) and (10, -9), let's substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (-9 - 9) / (10 - 8)
Next, let's simplify the equation:
slope = (-18) / (2)
slope = -9
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (8, 9) and (10, -9) is -9.
