Question #5d821

Answer 1

`5/2`

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes through two given points, we have to use the following formula:

`m = (Deltay)/(Deltax)` which could be rewritten as `m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - y_2)`

`color(blue)"Where m stands for the slope."`

Now that we have our formula and we know our two points, we can go ahead and apply it in our formula.

Our two points, once again, are `(-9, 5)` and `(-7, 10)`.

`m = (Deltay)/(Deltax)`

`m = (10 - 5)/(-7 - (-9))`

`m = 5/(-7 + 9)`

`m = 5/2`

So there you have it, the slope of this line is `5/2`.
