Question

PLEASE HELP !!!! Explain your answer

Answer 1

Option 3 (-3/4)

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you find the change in y and divide it by the change in x:

5 - (-4) 9

--------- = ------

-2 - 10 -12

If you simply 9/-12 (they both go into the number 3), you get -3/4

Answer 2

-3/4

Explanation:

(-2,5) (10,-4) <-y2-y1 / x2-x1 is the equation

-4-5 -9 -9

---------- = --------- = -------- <-simplify this

10-(-2) 10+2 12

-9/3=-3

12/3=4

-3/4
