• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-9, 3)

Point (-5, 7)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{7-3}{-5+9}$
2. Subtract/Add:                      $m=\frac{4}{4}$
3. Divide:                                 $m=1$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 7 and 3 to get 4. Then subtract -5 and -9 to get 4. Lastly divide 4 and 4 to get your answer of 1.
