Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (2, −7) and (−1, 5)?

help pls

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

Start by using this formula for finding slope
`(y - y_(1))/(x - x_(1))`:

`(5 - (-7))/(-1 (- 2))`

Next, simplify:

`(12)/(-3)`

Lastly, simplify again and you have your slope!:

-4

Hope this helped! :D
