Question

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, −4) ? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:-9/-2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=yz-yz/x2-x1=

-4-5/0-2=

-9/-2

(the / means over, for instance 9-2/8+4 is 9-2 over 8+4)

Answer 2

Ok so the equation for this is rise over run or y2-y1/x2-x1 (or y2-y1 over x2-x1)
plug your coordinates in: -4-5/0-2
-4 - 5 = -9
0-2=-2
-9/-2
But they most likely want a positive so slope should be 9/2
