Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–9, 2) and (0, 4)?
The slope of the line is

Answer 1

Let m = slope of the line

m = delta y divided by delta x

m = (4 - 2)/(0 - (-9))

m = 2/(0 + 9)

m = 2/9

The slope is 2/9.

Do you know what the answer really means?

Answer 2

Answer:

${\huge\boxed {\frac{2}{9}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

      ↓

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$y_2=4\\y_1=2\\x_2=0\\x_1=(-9)$

$\frac{4-2}{0-(-9)}=\frac{2}{9}$

The slope of the line is 2/9.

2/9 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!
