Answer :

The slope(m) of the given set is -3.

What is the slope of a pair of the ordered set?

The slope(m) of a pair of the given ordered set is the change in the rise over the run. The rise is the y-axis while the run is the x-axis.

Mathematically;

[tex]\mathbf{Slope(m) = \dfrac{\Delta y}{ \Delta x}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Slope(m) = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} }[/tex]

Here:

  • x_1 = 2
  • y_1 = 9
  • x_2 = 1
  • y_2 = 12

[tex]\mathbf{Slope(m) = \dfrac{12-9}{1-2} }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Slope(m) = \dfrac{3}{-1} }[/tex]

Slope (m) = -3

Therefore, we can conclude that the slope of the given set is -3. From the given option, kindly find out which of the slope is equivalent to -3.
