Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, -4)? Please show you're work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope

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

`m = (-4 - 5)/(0-2)`

`m = (-9)/(-2)`

`m = (9)/(2)`

Answer:
`Slope = (9)/(2)`

Answer 2

9/2

Explanation:

The slope is found by

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

= (-4 -5)/(0-2)

= -9/ -2

= 9/2
