Question

find the slope of the line that passes through \\((87, -9)\\) and \\((11, 67)\\).

simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (87, -9) $$

$$ (x_2, y_2) = (11, 67) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$

$$ m = \frac{67 - (-9)}{11 - 87} $$

$$ m = \frac{67 + 9}{-76} = \frac{76}{-76} $$

Simplify the fraction

$$ m = -1 $$

Answer:

Find the slope of the line that passes through (87, -9) and (11, 67).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
