(2,1) and (6,-9)The slope m= ? integer or a fraction. If not defined type N
m=y2-y1/x2-x1,so -9-1/6-2=-10/4=-5/2.
so, m=-5/2 ?
To find the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's calculate the slope using the given points (2, 1) and (6, -9):
m = (-9 - 1) / (6 - 2)
m = (-10) / (4)
m = -5/2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 1) and (6, -9) is -5/2 (a fraction).
