Question

whaat is the slope of the line that connects the ordered pairs (9,-4) and (17,-36)

Answer 1

slope is calculated as \[m=\frac{ (y_2 - y_1) }{ x_2 - x_1}\]

so your (x,y )pairs are

\[(x_1,y_1) = (9,-4)\ and \ (x_2,y_2) =(17,-36)\]

so plug in your values

\[\frac{ (-36-(-4)) }{ 17-9 }\]

Answer 2

thank you
