Question

Find the slope of the line containing the two points.

(2,5),(-3,-2)

Please show work

Answer 1

7/5

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the formula to find the slope of a line given two points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂)

The formula is:

`m= \frac{y{_2} -y_(1)}{x_(2)-x_(1)  } \\\\`

So, we're going to use the points (2,5), (-3, -2) in this formula.

`m= (-2-(5))/(-3-(2)) \\m=(-2-5)/(-3-2)\\m=(-7)/(-5) \\m=(7)/(5)`

Therefore, the slope is 7/5
