Answer 1

slope formula is
\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

Answer 2

i dont understand so how am i to find the slope

Answer 3

when you plug in the numbers it will look like this\[\frac{ 4-(-5) }{ -2-(-5)}\]

Answer 4

now subtract

Answer 5

-1,3

Answer 6

4-(-5)=9
-2-(-5)=3

Answer 7

so then the slope would be 9,3 xbeing 9 and y being 3

Answer 8

so you have the fraction \[\frac{ 9 }{ 3 }\] just reduce and that's urslope

Answer 9

so 1/3

Answer 10

3/1
