Question

Use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line that contains the two points (-4,0) and (5,2).
A) m=4 1/2
B) m=2/9
C) m=-2/9
D) m=-4 1/2

Answer 1

The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.

Answer 2

\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
