Answer:

slope = $\frac{4}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 6)

m = $\frac{-6+2}{-4-9}$ = $\frac{-4}{-13}$ = $\frac{4}{13}$

What is 8.25 as a fraction in simplest form?

8 is a whole number, so this will be the whole number part of our mixed number.

0.25 is a decimal, where 25 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 25 as a fraction over 100.

$\sf\dfrac{25}{100}$

Simplify by dividing 25 to the numerator and denominator.

$\sf25\div25=1$
$\sf100\div25=4$

So our fraction is $\sf8\dfrac{1}{4}$

0.55 is a decimal, where 55 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 55 as a fraction over 100.

$\sf\dfrac{55}{100}$

Simplify by dividing 5 to the numerator and denominator.

$\sf55\div5=11$
$\sf100\div5=20$

So our fraction is $\sf\dfrac{11}{20}$

$\sf\dfrac{5}{8}$

To convert this to a decimal, just divide 5 / 8

$\sf5\div8=0.625$
