Question

I was wondering if someone can kind of help me with the following problem:

Graph the line containing the given pair of points and find the slope.
(5,2),(-4,-5)

Answer 1

We can't draw graphs here. Get yourself some graph paper, plot the two points on the graph where the x and y values intersect, and draw a straight line through the points.

The slope of the line should be
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (-5 -2)/(-4 -5) = 7/9
