1. Write the slope of the line passing through the point (-3,6) and the middle point of the line joining the
points (4,-5) and (-2,9).
​

Answer 1

Answer:

slope= -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the mid point is (x,y)

so the mid point of (4,-5) and (-2,9) is

x=(4+(-2))/2=2. {formula used is x=(X1+X2)/2}

y=(-5+9)/2=2. {formula used is y=(y1+y2)/2}

therefore (x,y)= (2,2)

now the slope of line passing through (-3,6) and (2,2) is m

therefore,

m=(2-6)/(2+3). {formula used is slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}

m= -4/5 = slope
