Question

(a) Find the slope of the line through (-9, -7) and (-19. -47).

Answer 1

Y2-y1/x2-x1= -47-(-7)/-19-(-9)= 4

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

The equation for slope is:

`Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We can plug in the given points into the equation:

`Slope = (-47-(-7))/(-19-(-9))=(-47+7)/(-19+9)=(-40)/(-10)=4`

The slope is 4
