Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (7,5) and (2,9).

O-4/5
9/14
O 5/4
O-5/4
Question 3 of 9

Answer 1

Answer: slope = -4/5

Explanation:

slope = gradient = (change in y) / (change in x)

slope = (9 - 5) / (2 - 7) = 4/(-5) = -4/5

Answer 2

The slope of the line that passes through the points (7,5) and (2,9) can be found using the slope formula:


slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) = (7, 5) and (x2, y2) = (2, 9).
Plugging in the values, we get:
slope = (9 - 5) / (2 - 7) slope = 4 / (-5) slope = -4/5

Therefore, the slope of the line is -4/5.
