She drove 9 miles over the speed limit.

94.50 + 2m = 112.50
Subtract 94.50 from both sides

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Using the slope formula with points (0,-1) and (-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the points, (0,-1) and (-4,4)

Step 2: Insert plot points into Slope formula: (tip: M means slope)

m(slope)= $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ -> m(slope)= $\frac{4-(-1)}{-4-0}$

Step 3: Solve:

m(slope)= $\frac{5}{-4}$

Answer:

Slope is $\frac{5}{-4}$

or m = $\frac{5}{-4}$

OR (if your teacher wants the answer in decimal form rounded to the nearest 10th.) m = -1.3
