Question

Can someone please help me really quick

Answer 1

slope m = -
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m, using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 17, 4 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(4-0)/(-17-(-9))` =
`(4)/(-17+9)` =
`(4)/(-8)` = -
`(1)/(2)`
