Question

A line crosses through the points (0,2) and (-10, -16) Which of the following is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

  9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between the two points can be found by ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-16-2)/(-10-0) = -18/-10

  m = 9/5

The slope of the line is 9/5. Perhaps this is a match to choice A.
