What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5, -7)(−5,−7) and (4, -1) ?(4,−1)? Write your answer in simplest form.

The slope is 6/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation used to calculate the slope from two points is:

(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1) =

It doesn't matter which x or y you choose to be first since you'll get the same answer. (For me, it's easier to go with the bigger number as the second x & y, so that's what I did.)

(-1 - -7) ÷ (4 - -5) = 6/9

answer is x<

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
