Question

Please help me with my questions

Answer 1

Answer: slope 'm' = -3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation: Using the formula m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where 'm' is the slope of the line connecting the two points, we can plug in our x and y values:

x1 = 2

x2 = 8

y1 = 5

y2 = -4

Once we plug in our x and y values, we get the equation

m = (-4 - 5) / (8 - 2)

--> -9 / 6 (We can simplify this fraction to get or answer of -3 / 2)

Answer 2

m= -3/2

Explanation:

To find slope

`m \: = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

We have our x1 and y1 of (2,5)

We have our x2 and y2 of (8,-4)

Now we plug in

= (-4-5)/(8-2)

= (-9)/(6)

Simplifying it would be

`m = - (3)/(2)`
