Slope = change in Y over change in X:
Slope = (1 - 8) / (5-9)
Slope = -7/-4
Slope = 7/4
Answer:
The slope is [tex] \frac{7}{4} [/tex].
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember: [tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
☆And now we just plug in!
[tex]m = \frac{1 - 8}{5 - 9} = \frac{ - 7}{ - 4} = \frac{7}{4} [/tex]
