Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 4) and (4, 12).

Answer 1

Answer:Answer as a proper fraction is 8/-5;

As an improper fraction is - 1 3/5;

As an integer, we will approximate the slope value from -1.6 to -2....

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (9,4) and (4,12), find the slope:

Slope= change in y/ change in x.

y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Step 1: Locate the coordinates points:

x1= 9, x2= 4

y1=4, y2= 12

Step 2:Insert the values into the formula Slope =12-4/4-9

=8/-5

Answer as a proper fraction is 8/-5

As an improper fraction is - 1 3/5

As an integer, we will approximate the slope value from -1.6 to -2.

I hope this helps .

Answer 2

Answer:

-8/5 = -1 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = change in y/change in x = (4-12)/(9-4) = -8/5 = -1 and 3/5
