Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–9, 2) and (0, 4)?

The slope of the line is

Answer 1

Let m = slope of the line

m = delta y divided by delta x

m = (4 - 2)/(0 - (-9))

m = 2/(0 + 9)

m = 2/9

The slope is 2/9.

Do you know what the answer really means?

Answer 2

`{\huge\boxed {(2)/(9)}}`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

↓

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`y_2=4\\y_1=2\\x_2=0\\x_1=(-9)\\`

`(4-2)/(0-(-9))=(2)/(9)`

The slope of the line is 2/9.

2/9 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!
