What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,9) and (8,34)? Write your answer in simplest form.

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=ax+b

9= -2a+b <=> b= 9+2a

34=8a+b = 8a+9+2a = 10a + 9

a = (34-9)/10 = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
