Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points
(4, 4) and (5,0).

Answer 1

Answer:

B) -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is change in y divided by change in x.

So, 6-4/-4-0 = 2/-4 so reduces to -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y ÷ Change in x

         $= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\= \frac{0-4}{5-4}\\\\= \frac{-4}{1}\\\\= - 4$
