Answer:

Slope = -9/4

Explanation:

To find slope use this formula⤵⤵⤵:


(y _(2) - y _(1) )/(x _(2) - x _(1))

So we will take the y-values and subtract them, and we'll do the same for the x-values. Coordinates are written as (x,y)

4 - (-5) = 4 + 5 = 9

-2 - 2 = -4

Slope = -9/4

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

-9/4

Step-by-step explanation: The equation to find slope is y2-y1 over x2- x1

So you need to take your 4 (y2) and your -5(y1) and you are going to subtract 4--5, two negatives make a positive so you add it and it becomes 9. Then you need to take -2 (x2) and 2 (x1) and subtract them -2-2 =4

That gives you -9/4.

I hope this helps :)
