Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, -4)? Please show you're work.

Answer 1

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

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

    = (-4 -5)/(0-2)

   = -9/ -2

   = 9/2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the slope

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m = \frac{-4 - 5}{0-2}$

$m = \frac{-9}{-2}$

$m = \frac{9}{2}$

Answer:  $Slope = \frac{9}{2}$
