Graph the Line Segment (9,-3)-(-2,-4)

Problem

Graph the line segment from *(9,−3)* to *(−2,−4)

Solution

1. Identify the two given endpoints of the line segment, which are ((x_1),(y_1))=(9,−3) and ((x_2),(y_2))=(−2,−4)

2. Plot the first point (9,−3) by moving 9 units to the right along the x-axis and 3 units down along the y-axis.

3. Plot the second point (−2,−4) by moving 2 units to the left along the x-axis and 4 units down along the y-axis.

4. Connect the two points with a straight line segment using a ruler or straightedge.

5. Determine the slope of the segment to ensure accuracy using the formula m=((y_2)−(y_1))/((x_2)−(x_1))

m=(−4−(−3))/(−2−9)

m=(−1)/(−11)

m=1/11

Final Answer

Line segment from *(9,−3)* to *(−2,−4)
