\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~ -6 &,& -5~) % (c,d) &&(~ 4 &,& 4~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{4-(-5)}{4-(-6)}\implies \cfrac{4+5}{4+6}\implies \cfrac{9}{10}

Hi there! :)

Explanation:


SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)


(4-(-5))/(4-(-6))=(4+5=9)/(4+6=10)=(9)/(10)

Slope is 9/10

Final answer is 9/10

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D
