find the slope of the line that contains (1,6) and 10,9) i thought the answer was -3

9 but i guess that is incorrect where did i go worng? any halp is greatly apreciated!
To find the slope of a line that contains two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can use the slope formula:
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, you have the points (1, 6) and (10, 9). Let's substitute these values into the slope formula:
Slope = (9 - 6) / (10 - 1)
= 3 / 9
= 1/3
So, the correct slope of the line that contains the points (1, 6) and (10, 9) is 1/3.
It seems like you made a calculation error when subtracting 9 - 6. The correct calculation should be 3, not -3.
