Answer:
Slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
We can define the slope as the "change in y values" divided by the "change in x values".
By change in, we mean, 2nd point MINUS the first point values.
The points given is:
(1,4) & (-1,-1)
<u>Change in y value:</u>
-1 - 4 = -5
<u>Change in x value:</u>
-1 -1 = -2
Slope is -5/-2 = 5/2
There is no answer choice. The correct answer is 5/2
To find the slope you use the equation:
m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)
You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)
m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)
m = 1 ÷ (-2)
m = - 1/2
Next you use this equation:
y = mx + b
Because you know m you plug it in.
y = -1/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)
y = -1/2x + b
1 = -1/2(0) + b
1 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = -1/2x + 1
The answer you just add and subtract
7+9=16
43-5=38
