Question

5 , 9
Find the slope of the line given its graph
9
-9
-4 1/2
-1/9

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line given two points, we can use the formula for slope \( m \):

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

In your case, it looks like you provided a point (5, 9) and possibly another y-value (9) that might relate to another point. Let’s assume you meant the second point is (x, 9) for some x, but we need two points.

Here, we have only one point (5, 9), and we cannot determine the slope without another point. If we assume another point is (0, 0) for example; we could calculate hypothetically:

Given the point (5, 9), let’s define another arbitrary point (0, 0):

\[
m = \frac{9 - 0}{5 - 0} = \frac{9}{5}
\]

If you only meant the point (5, 9), we would need another distinct point to calculate the slope.

If you are referencing other points, please clarify, and I can assist with the calculation of the slope accordingly!
