Question 206171
A. The slope can be found by {{{m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)}}}
Given the points (5,-2) and (-1,-9), {{{m=(-2-(-9))/(5-(-1))}}}
{{{m=7/6}}}
B. Given the equation {{{4x-5y=10}}} put it into slope intercept form - {{{y=mx+b}}}
{{{-5y=-4x+10}}}
{{{y=(4/5)x-2}}}
The equation fits the form {{{y=mx+b}}}; the slope is m.
{{{m=4/5}}}
