Question

What Is the slope of the line that passes through these two points (-5,7) and (6,4)

Answer 1

slope = -
`(3)/(11)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 4)

m =
`(4-7)/(6+5)` =
`(-3)/(11)` = -
`(3)/(11)`
