Question

Slope between (4, -9) and (2, -1) is:
a. -4
b. 4
c. 8
d. -8

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D because you do the math like this:

Step-by-step explanation: -1 - 9 and 2 - 4 then you multiply those by 2 and get your answer.

Answer 2

The slope between the points (4, -9) and (2, -1) is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope between two points, we use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. In this case, the two points are (4, -9) and (2, -1). Plugging in the values, we get:

slope = (-1 - (-9)) / (2 - 4) = 8 / (-2) = -4

Therefore, the slope between the given points is -4. So, the correct answer is a. -4.
