what is the slope of the line that passes through {-4,-9}and {0,5)?
a.] 7/2 b.] -7/2 c.] 1 d.] 2/7
YOU HAVE TO USE THE FORMULA
M = Y2-Y1 DIVIDED BY X2-X1
WHICH WILL BE:
M = (5-(-9))/0-4
M= 5+9 / 0-4
M= 14/-4
M=-3.5 Which is the same as -7/2
To find the slope of a line passing through two given points, we can use the slope formula:
M = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
In this case, the given points are (-4,-9) and (0,5).
Plug the values from these points into the slope formula:
M = (5 - (-9)) / (0 - (-4))
= (5 + 9) / (0 + 4)
= 14 / 4
= 7 / 2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these two points is 7/2.
So, the correct answer is (a) 7/2.
