Question

find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.(-5 9)and(-7 -5)

Answer 1

slope formula
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-5,9) x1 = -5, y1 = 9
(-7,-5) x2 = -7, y2 = -5
now lets sub all our stuff in
m = (-5 - 9) / (-7 - (-5)
m = (- 14) / (-7 + 5)
m = -14 / -2
m = -14/-2
m = 7 <-- your slope

any questions ?

Answer 2

m = 7 <

Answer 3

ok it this

Answer 4

or 7

Answer 5

It would just be m = 7
