Question

Find the slope of (2,175) and (3,165)

Answer 1

the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -10/1 = -10.

Explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 175) to the right to the point (3, 165), x increases by 1 and y decreases by 10. Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -10/1 = -10.
