Find the slope of a line that passes through points (–1, –5) and (6, 9). Question 2 options: A) 1∕2 B) –2 C) 4∕5 D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is used to describe the average rate of change. Often referred to as the (), the general formula to find the slope of a line is the following,

Where () and () are both points on the line. One is given that the following points are on the line,

Substitutes these values into the formula and solve for the slope,

Simplify, remember negative times negative equals positive,

Combine like terms,

Simplify further, remember a fraction is another way of representing division,

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -12x + 36 + y^2 = 36

x^2 + y^2 = 12x

r^2 = 12rcos(theta)

r = 12 cos(theta)
