Question

find the slope of the line that passes through (4,5) and (9,1)

Answer 1

The line is given ith two points, A (4, 5) and B (9, 1)

The slope is calculated as follows;

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{1-5}{9-4} \\ m=\frac{-4}{5} \\ m=-\frac{4}{5} \end{gathered}$

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is -4/5
