find the slope of the line if it exists of the line containing the points (-14,-9) and (-19,-18)

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The slope m is found by substitution of x and y values in the following equation: \[m=\frac{y-y _{1}}{x-x _{1}}\]

OpenStudy (nubeer):

can you find slope?

OpenStudy (vortish):

then it would be (-14--9)(-19--18) = 5 right or wrong

OpenStudy (aripotta):

wrong

OpenStudy (vortish):

hi ari can you show me the correct way pls

OpenStudy (aripotta):

difference of the 2 y's over the difference of the 2 x's

OpenStudy (aripotta):

[-9 - (-18)]/[-14 - (-19)]

OpenStudy (vortish):

ok i Understand that ari i come up with 9/5 so the slope is undefined correct

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, the slope is 9/5 lol

OpenStudy (vortish):

ok so I did the math correct then

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep

OpenStudy (vortish):
