Question

question 35 points 2
find the slope of the line joining two points (-4, -6) and (-5, -9).
-1/3
3

Explanation:

Identify the given points

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (-4, -6),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (-5, -9) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-9 - (-6)}{-5 - (-4)} $$

Simplify the expression

$$ m = \frac{-9 + 6}{-5 + 4} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3 $$

Answer:

• (A) \(-1/3\)
• (B) 3 (Correct answer)
