Question

Find the slope of the line that passses thruogh 1,5 and 10,9

Answer 1

Answer:  The slope is 4/9  or -4/-9.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,5)  

(10,9)   Find the difference in the y values and divide it by the difference in the x values.

5-9= -4

1- 10= -9

-4/-9= 4/9

so the slope is 4/9  

Using the slope we could also find the y-intercept and write the equation.

5=4/9 (1) + b    where b is the y-intercept

  5= 4/9 + b

-4/9   -4/9

b= 41/9  

Now we will have the equation  y= 4/9 + 41/9
