Answer 1

$\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\sf{\color{yellow}{Answer:}}}}}}$

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find

Slope

• Given

$\sf let \: ( - 9, - 5) = (x_1,y_1) \\ \\ \sf ( - 1, - 9) = (x_2,y_2)$

• Solution

$\sf Slope(m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substituting the values

$\sf \implies m = \frac{ - 9 - ( - 5)}{ - 1 - ( - 9)} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{ - 9 + 5}{ - 1 + 9} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{ - 4}{8} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = - \frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

slope= (y2-y1)/x2-x1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5-(-9))/(-9-(-1))

=-1/2
