Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the following sets of points (2,-5) and (9,-1)

Answer 1

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sets of points (2,-5) and (9,-1), the slope of the line passing through them is obtained using the formula:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}`

Substituting the given values, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(-1-(-5))/(9-2) \\ =(-1+5)/(7) \\ =(4)/(7) \end{gathered}`

The slope of the line is 4/7.
