Question

What is the actual slope of a line with the points (-4, 9) and (3, -5)?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

slope equation: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

lets use (-4, 9) as x1 and y1 and (3, -5) as x2 and y2

when plugged into the equation we get (9+5)/(-4-3) which ultimately equals -2.

Answer 2

slope=∆y/∆x=9+5/-4-3=14/-7=-2
