Question

Determine the slope between the points (-1, -5) and (5, 4)

Answer 1

Slope = 9/6

Explanation:

Step 1: We have formula to find the slope if we are given two point.

slope =
`((y2 - y1))/((x2 - x1))`

Given points (-1, -5) and (5, 4)

Here x1 = -1, y1 = -5 and x2=5 and y2 = 4

Step 2: Plug in those values into formula and simplify.

Slope = (4 - (-5)) / (5 - (-1))

= (4 + 5)/(5 + 1) -(-5)= 5 and -(-1) = 1

Slope (m) = 9/6
