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 asm = (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
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
