Question

Slope of (-5,1) and (0,9)​

Answer 1

The answer is

`(8)/(5) \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-5,1) and (0,9)

The slope is

`m = (9 - 1)/(0 + 5) = (8)/(5) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(8)/(5) \\`

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

8/5

Explanation:

When we have two points , we can use the slope formula

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

= ( 9-1)/(0--5)

(9-1)/(0+5)

8/5
