Question

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 4 comma 9 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 0 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.

Find the slope of the line given its graph.

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line, we need to find the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates between two points on the line.

The given points are (4,9) and (5,0).

The change in y-coordinates = 0 - 9 = -9
The change in x-coordinates = 5 - 4 = 1

So, the slope of the line is -9/1 = -9.

Answer 2

sure?

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Let's double-check the calculations.

The given points are (4,9) and (5,0).

The change in y-coordinates = 0 - 9 = -9
The change in x-coordinates = 5 - 4 = 1

So, the slope of the line is -9/1 = -9.

Yes, the correct slope of the line is -9.
