Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 4) and (5,5)?
if you get the answer right you will be given 30 points

Answer 1

slope =(5-4)/(5+4), hope it heps

Answer 2

Answer: 1/9

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line from two points use the equation

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Putting the values we get,

$\frac{5 - 4}{5 - {}^{ - } 4} = \frac{1}{9}$

The order of the points doesn't matter. Let's switch them and see what we get:

$\frac{4 - 5}{ {}^{ - } 4 - 5} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 9} = \frac{1}{9}$

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-4,4) and (5,5) is 1/9.
