Question

What do I put in the blankCan anyone help please

Answer 1

Step 1:

Write the formula of the slope of a line.

`\text{Slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Step 2:

Write the coordinates of the two given points

(-1, 1) and (4, -4)

`\begin{gathered} x_1\text{ = -1} \\ y_1\text{ = 1} \\ x_2\text{ = 4} \\ y_2\text{ = -4} \end{gathered}`

Step 3:

Substitute the values in the formula

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{4\text{ - (-1)}}{-4\text{ - 1}} \\ \text{Slope = }\frac{4\text{ + 1}}{-5} \\ \text{Slope = }(5)/(-5) \\ \text{Slope = -1} \end{gathered}`

Final answer

Slope = -1
