Slope the line passing through (−4,-5) and (−9,1) is $- \frac{6}{5}$ $-6/5$

Explanation:

Slope of a line joining $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

Hence, slope the line passing through (−4,-5) and (−9,1) is $\frac{1 - (- 5)}{- 9 - (- 4)} = \frac{1 + 5}{- 9 + 4} = \frac{6}{- 5} = - \frac{6}{5}$ $(1-(-5))/(-9-(-4))=(1+5)/(-9+4)=6/(-5)=-6/5$ .
