OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

two points are lying on that line do u seee ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u knw slope formula ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = mx + b?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = \(\large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Points : (-2, 5) and (9, -4) x1 y1 x2 y2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simply plug them in above slope formula

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = \(\large \frac{-4-5}{9--2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

careful

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = \(\large \frac{-4-5}{9--2}\) = \(\large \frac{-9}{9+2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really am not sure I just sorta looked at it and was like 3/2 maybe

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = \(\large \frac{-4-5}{9--2}\) = \(\large \frac{-9}{9+2}\) = \(\large \frac{-9}{11}\)
