Question

Slope of the line for (1,2) and (2,-3)

Answer 1

-5/1

Explanation:

Remember: Rise over Run

To solve this...

You will need the equation:

y² - y¹

x² - x¹

So now you have to label ( 1 , 2 ) and ( 2 , - 3 ) as either x¹ or y¹ etc.

x¹ = 1 and y¹ = 2

x² = 2 and y² = -3

Now you know your plug ins. Just solve it.

Your equation should look like this now:

-3 - 2 -5

------- = ----- ( so this is your answer )

2 - 1 1
