Question

find the slope of the line

Answer 1

we must use the slope formula

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

where (x2,y2)is a point right from (x1,y1)

so on this case

(x2,y2)=(2,5)

and

(x1,y1)=(-8,-4)

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{5-(-4)}{2-(-8)} \\ \\ m=\frac{9}{10} \end{gathered}$

the slope is 9/10
