What Is The Slope Of The Line Containing 2 5 And 4 4 class=

Sagot :

Answer:

B. - 3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

( x1, y1 ) = ( - 2, 5 )

So,

x1 = - 2

y1 = 5

( x2, y2 ) = ( 4, - 4 )

So,

x2 = 4

y2 = - 4

Formula : -

Slope = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

Slope = ( - 4 - 5 ) / ( 4 - ( - 2 ) )

= - 9 / ( 4 + 2 )

= - 9 / 6

Slope = - 3 / 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 4 )

m = [tex]\frac{-4-5}{4-(-2)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-9}{4+2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-9}{6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] → B
