<span>In mathematical analysis it's the measure of how fast does value of the function change in relation to change of its variables.

(-3,-5)(2,4)
slope(m) = (4 - (-5) / (2 - (-3) = (4 + 5) / (2 + 3) = 9/5
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 9/5
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
sub
y - 4 = 9/5(x - 1)....this is the correct answer
the student figured the slope wrong....it is 9/5...not -9/5
