Answer: m = -2
Explanation:
To find the slope of the line from two points, use the formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
Plug in the values (m =? , y1 = 4, y2 = -14, x1 = -4, x2 = 5). The now-plugged-in equation should be m = (-14 - 4)/(5 + 4).
Solve. m = -18/9 = -2.
The slope of the line that goes through the points (-4, 4) and (5, -14) is -2.
