Question

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

Answer 1

@Mehek14

Answer 2

so 9\2

Answer 3

medal and fan for help

Answer 4

9/2 is right.
Welcome to OpenStudy! :-)

Answer 5

thx

Answer 6

but how

Answer 7

\(\dfrac{5-(-4)}{2-0}\) = ?
2 -'s turn into a postivie
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~ \frac{ 5+4=9 }{ 2-0=2 }\]

Answer 8

There is a formula for a slope passing through a line.

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 9

i thought the 2 was over the 9

Answer 10

Mehek made a mistake
(2, 5) and (0, −4)
Should've been
-4-5/0-2
This is the slope formula
\[\LARGE\color{red}{ \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}=slope\]

\[\huge~\rm~\bf~ \frac{ -4-5 }{ 0-2 }=?\]

Answer 11

so -9/-2

Answer 12

Yes however slopes can be simplifed -/-=+
So...
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~ \color{purple}{\frac{ -9 }{ -2 }\rightarrow \frac{ 9 }{ 2}}\]

Answer 13

We still got the same answer lololol

Answer 14

can u help with one more

Answer 15

yes :-)

Answer 16

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, 3) and (4, –7)?

A.


B.


C.


D.

Answer 17

Try this one by yourself tell me what you get :)

Answer 18

2


3/4



-4/3



-2
are the answers

Answer 19

i dont know it i was in the hs when it was taought at school

Answer 20

my test is timed

Answer 21

Ok,
So we have the slope formula
\[ \huge~\rm~\bf\color{blue}{ \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope}\]
We are given the following coordinates:
(–1, 3) and (4, –7)
x1=-1
x2=4
y1=3
y2=-7
Now we plug what we have into the formula
\[ \huge~\rm~\bf\color{purple}{ \frac{-7-3}{4--1}=slope}\]
two negatives make a + so..
\[ \huge~\rm~\bf\color{red}{ \frac{-7-3}{4+1}=slope}\]
Now solve, what would our slope be?

Answer 22

-10/5

Answer 23

is wat i got

Answer 24

Good slopes can be simplifed so..
-10 divided by 5 =?

Answer 25

so -2

Answer 26

Yes! ^.^
Perfect :)

Answer 27

thanks
