Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the points be A and B
A ( - 2 , 3 ) -------> ( x1 , x2 )
B ( -4 , -9 ) -------> ( x2 , y2 )
Now, finding the slope:
[tex]slope \: (m) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
Plug the values
[tex] = \frac{ - 9 - 3}{ - 4 - ( - 2)} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex] = \frac{ - 12}{ - 4 - ( - 2)} [/tex]
When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses , change the sign of each term in expression
[tex] = \frac{ - 12}{ - 4 + 2} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex] = \frac{ - 12}{ - 2} [/tex]
Reduce the fraction with -2
[tex] = 6[/tex]
Hope this helps..
Best regards!!
