Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5, -7)(−5,−7) and (4, -1) ?(4,−1)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

i would help you but i do not know it

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope is 6/9.

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate the slope from two points is:

(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1) =

It doesn't matter which x or y you choose to be first since you'll get the same answer. (For me, it's easier to go with the bigger number as the second x & y, so that's what I did.)

(-1 - -7) ÷ (4 - -5) = 6/9
