Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 4) and (5,5)?

Answer 1

Slope = 1/9

Explanation:

Use the formula for the slope of a line given two points. I've attached a photo to remind you what the formula is.

m is the slope of the line.

(x1, y1) = (-4, 4) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5)

So plug in the numbers into the formula, which yields:

m =
`(5-4)/(5-(-4))`

m =
`(1)/(9)`
