Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, −4)

Answer 1

use previous formula !!!

Answer 2

can you show your work ?? @Archer3545

Answer 3

2+5 over 0 - (-4)?

Answer 4

Nope!
Remember its y2 - y1/x2 - x1!
Where:
(2, 5) = x1, y1
(0,-4) = x2, y2!
Plug it in and solve :D

Answer 5

so is it 2x1, 5x1 and 0x2, 4x2?

Answer 6

So it would be:
5 - (-4)/0 - 2
9/-2
-4.5

Answer 7

No :)
x1 and y1 represents the first coordinates...
x2 and y2 represents the second set of coordinates.

Answer 8

(x1,y1)=(2,5)
(x2,y2)=(0,-4)

Answer 9

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 10

ok i think i get it

Answer 11

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,5)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 5
(0,-4)...x2 = 0 and y2 = -4
now sub
slope = (-4 - 5) / (0 - 2)
slope = -9/-2
slope = 9/2
