Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -9) and (22, -4) ?Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2- y1)/(x2-x1)

=>-4+9/22+3

=>5/25

slope=1/5 (Ans.)

Answer 2

Given,

Two points (-3, -9) and (22, -4) join to form a line.

To find,

The slope of the line

Solution,

We may utilize the following mathematical approach.

The approach for obtaining the slope of the equation of the line is as follows.

We know that,

The line passes through (-3, -9) and (22, -4).

Thus,

The slope of the line = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

                                   = $\frac{-4 -(-9)}{22-(-3)}$

                                   = $\frac{-4+9}{22+3}$

                                   = $\frac{5}{25}$

                                   = $\frac{1}{5}$

As a result, the slope of the line connecting the points (-3, -9) and (22, -4) is $\frac{1}{5}$.
