Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 4) and (2, 9).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is
`(5)/(-7)`.

Explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula change in y over change in x. In this case, we can also use it:

`(9-4)/(2-9)`

We can then simplify:

`(5)/(-7)`

The slope of the line is
`(5)/(-7)`.
