The slope formula is m = [second y - first y]/[second x - first x]
First: replace/substitute the points with the corresponding variables.
m = [- 9 - 4]/[7 - 0]
m = -13/7

The equation to finding the slope is: y(2)- y(1) over x(2)- x(1)
so -9-4/7-0 so the slope is -13/7

slope is equal to the change in y (delta y) over the change in x (delta x)
so...-9 - 4 = -13 and 7 - 0=7
therefore: -13 over 7 or -13/7 is the slope (m)
(don,t ask why we use m for slope)

slope is change in y over change in x, so choose one point as starting point
x/y = (7-0)/(-9-4)
= -7/13

Rise/Run
(4 - (-9))/(0 - 7) = -13/7

slope is rise over run or changes in y over changes in x
-9-4
7-0
slope=-13/7

4-(-9)/0-7
4+9/0-7
13/-7 or write as -13/7

slope = m is m= (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) x1,y1 x2,y2 (0, -4) and (-6, 7) m= (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) m= (-4 - 7) / (0 - -6) m= (-11) / (6) m = -11/6 = = -1 5/6 mixed number in lowest terms

SLOPE = GRADOENT
GRADIENT = Y2 - Y1/ X2 - X1
(0=X1,4=Y1)AND ( 7= X2, -9= Y2)
Y2-Y1/X2-X1
=(-9-4)/(7-0)
= -1.86(ANS)
