Question

Find the slope of the line connecting these points.
(2, 9), (-4, 4)

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

i dont get it :/

Answer 3

ok,first, whats the difference of y-co-ordinates ?
9-4 =.. ?

Answer 4

you there ?

Answer 5

then you need to take difference in x-co-ordinates
2- (-4) =... ?
then just divide them and you get the slope! :)

Answer 6

ok thanks
