Answer:

The answer to your question is slope = -2

Explanation:

Data

A = (5, 9)

B = (4, 11)

slope = m = ?

Slope means the steepness of a line.

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the slope

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

x1 = 5 y1 = 9 x2 = 4 y2 = 11

2.- Substitution

m = (11 - 9) / (4 - 5)

3.- Simplification

m = 2/-1

4.- Result

m = -2
