How do you find the slope given (-2, - 4) and (-6, - 9)?

Answer 1

Subtract the first y-variable from the second y-variable and divide that by the first x-variable subtracted from the second x-variable.

#(-9--4)/(-6--2)=(-9+4)/(-6+2)=(-5)/-4=5/4#

The slope is #5/4#.

To find the slope given the points (-2, -4) and (-6, -9), you can use the formula:

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Calculate the change in y: -9 - (-4) = -9 + 4 = -5
Calculate the change in x: -6 - (-2) = -6 + 2 = -8
Divide the change in y by the change in x: Slope = (-5) / (-8) Simplify if needed.

So, the slope between the points (-2, -4) and (-6, -9) is the result of (-5) / (-8).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
