Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(-4,-2); (5,2)`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=4/9`

Explanation:

`"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-4,-2)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(5,2)`

`rArrm=(2-(-2))/(5-(-4))=4/9`
