What is the slope of the line? A. −9/5

B. 5/9

C. −5/9

D. 9/5

-9/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope, we must understand that the slope of a line is defined as the ratio rise/run.

The rise is the vertical direction of the line and the

run is the horizontal direction of the line.

So to start, I am going to pick 2 points on this line.

You want to find points where the line crosses the four corners.

In the diagram, those would be the points (-4, 5) and (1, -4).

Now, we can use slope formula.

Slope = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

So we have -4 - 5/1 - -4 which simplifies to -9/5.

So the slope is -9/5.

5+2x=a
