Question

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?

Answer 1

We will use the slope formula and fill it in accordingly.

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

Our x2 is 5 and x1 is -2; our y2 is -3 and y1 is 6

`m=(-3-6)/(5-(-2))=(-9)/(7)`.

The slope of your line is -9/7

Answer 2

Find out the slope of the points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3).

To prove

The equation for finding the slope of two points be

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

where m represented the slope .

As given

points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3).

`m = (-3-6)/(5+2)`

solving the above terms

`m = (-9)/(7)`

Therefore the slope of points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3) is

`m = (-9)/(7)`
