Segment XY represents the path of an airplane that passes through the coordinates (2,-5) and (4, 5). What is the slope of Segment XY the line that represents the path of the airplane?

Respuesta :

Answer:

m=5

Explanation:

The airplane passes through the coordinates (2, -5) and (4, 5).

To determine the slope of the line, we use the formula below:

[tex]\text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}[/tex]

Substituting the given points:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-5-5}{2-4} \\ =\frac{-10}{-2} \\ =5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The slope of Segment XY is 5.
