Answer:
5.243 is less than 5.4....
The slope can sometimes be called the gradient, and the equation for the gradient is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). So therefore, you'd do: (-8 - 7)/(4 - -5) which is (-15)/9) which is -1 2/3 or -1.6 (recurring), which is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if I've confused you :)
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: d = √(x^²-x^₁)^2+(y^²-y^₁)^2 d = √ (-9--5)^2+ (-2 - -5)^2 d = √(-4)^2 + (3)^2 d = √16 + 9 d = √25 d = 5
