## GeOmEnTrY Group Title I need som help solving and creating steps for this problem. I am not great at math so some guidance will help! :)) Remember to show all of the steps that you use to solve the problem. You can use the comments field to explain your work. Your teacher will review each step of your responses. What is the slope of the line shown? one year ago one year ago

notice that there are two points marked on the line first point : (-2, 5) second point : (9, -4)

3. ganeshie8 Group Title

see them ?

4. GeOmEnTrY Group Title

Yes

5. ganeshie8 Group Title

thats it ! we just need ANY two points to find the slope using slope-formula

6. GeOmEnTrY Group Title

y=mx+b?

7. ganeshie8 Group Title

no, we will use below formula. slope of a line joining two points $$(x1, y1) \ and\ (x2, y2) = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$$

8. ganeshie8 Group Title

slope of a line joining two points $$(-2, 5) \ and \ (9, -4) = ?$$

9. GeOmEnTrY Group Title

-4-5/9+2

10. ganeshie8 Group Title

perfect ! thats ur slope. -4-5/9+2 = -9/11

11. GeOmEnTrY Group Title

Oh! Thank you! I understand clearly now!

12. ganeshie8 Group Title

glad to hear :) Also, the negative sign of slope indicates that the line is falling to the right side. which can be seen in the graph very easily - the line is falling to the right.
