To find the slope of the line, we need to determine the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values.
The y-values of the two points are 9 and 0, and the x-values are 4 and 5.
So, the change in y-values is 0 - 9 = -9, and the change in x-values is 5 - 4 = 1.
Therefore, the slope of the line is -9/1 = -9.
Use the image to answer the 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.
