Pick one answer
The slope of the line can be found using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
m = (0 - 9) / (5 - 4)
m = -9 / 1
m = -9
The slope of the line is -9.
To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's apply this formula using the given points (4, 9) and (5, 0):
slope = (0 - 9) / (5 - 4)
slope = -9 / 1
slope = -9
Therefore, the slope of the line is -9.
To find the slope of a line given two points on its graph, we can use the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Let's assign the coordinates of the two points as follows:
Point 1: (x₁, y₁) = (4, 9)
Point 2: (x₂, y₂) = (5, 0)
Now, substitute the values into the slope formula:
slope = (0 - 9) / (5 - 4)
slope = -9 / 1
Therefore, the slope of the line is -9.
So, the correct answer is -9.
