Question

(-2,3),(-7,-7) find the slope

Answer 1

Hi!

To find the slope, use this formula...

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Put in the values and solve!

`(-7 - 3)/(-7 - (-2))`

`(-10)/(-5)`

Simplify

`2`

The slope is 2

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

To find the slope between two points, we need to find the rise over run. We can do this by using the slope formula. Between two points, (x, y) and (x₁, y₁), the slope is
`(y - y_(1))/(x - x_(1))`. Now we can substitute the values of our points and solve. The formula becomes:

`(3 - (-7))/(-2 - (-7))`

Simplifying, we get:

`(10)/(5)`

2. That means that the slope between these two points is 2.
