Slope of (6, 9) & (7, 1)
To find the slope, we use the equation : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
**Remember : m = slope**
Let's say that (6, 9) is our first set of points, and (7, 1) is our second.
If those are our first and second points, then we now know this :
x₁ = 6, x₂ = 7, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 1
Now that we know that, we can simply plug those points into our slope equation.
m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
m = (1 - 9) / (7 - 6 )
Simplify.
m = -8 / 1
Simplify.
m = -8
So, our slope is -8.
