Question

Find the slope -5/4 4/5 -4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{4}{5}$ ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope of a line using any two points on the line (x1, y1) 1nd (x2, y2) by using this rule $m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Let us use this rule to answer the question

From the attached graph:

∵ The given line passes through points (-1, -2) and (4, 2)

→ That means point (x1, y1) = (-1, -2) and point (x2, y2) = (4, 2)

∴ x1 = -1 and x2 = 4

∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute their values in the rule of the slope above

∴ $m=\frac{2--2}{4--1}=\frac{2+2}{4+1}=\frac{4}{5}$

∴ The slope of the line is $\frac{4}{5}$
