Question

What is the slop of the line that contains the points (0,1)and(-2,-9).write your answer as a friction in simplest from (hint:2/1 should be simplified to 2

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To find the slope we will use the slope formula:

`slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

They give us the points of (0,1) and (-2,-9) in the equation. Let's label each thing to fit the equation:

y2 = -9

y1 = 1

x2 = -2

x1 = 0

Now, plug it all in to the equation:

`(-9-1)/(-2-0) = (-10)/(-2) = 5`

Therefore, the slope is 5.

I hope this helps!!
