Which of the following is the slope between the tow points (0, 4) and (-2, 5) -9/2 2/9 -2/9 9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope of the line joining two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) here x1=0 and y1=4 and x2=-2 and y2 =5 and just pluggin these values and omplete your calculation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's -2/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use this formula: \[slope=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } = \frac{ 5-4 }{ -2-0 } = \frac{ 1 }{ -2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think instead of (0, 4) it should be (0, -4) and the correct answer may be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's -9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is incorrect...the slope of this question is 1/-2
