Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope we will use the slope formula:
[tex]slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]
They give us the points of (0,1) and (-2,-9) in the equation. Let's label each thing to fit the equation:
y2 = -9
y1 = 1
x2 = -2
x1 = 0
Now, plug it all in to the equation:
[tex]\frac{-9-1}{-2-0} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5[/tex]
Therefore, the slope is 5.
I hope this helps!!
