Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through A(3 , 7) and B(2, 2).

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To find the slope, we will use this equation.

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

m = slope

When we plug in the values of y2, y1, x2, and x1, we get this:

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

when we simplify:

`(-5)/(-1)`

-5 / -1 = 5 / 1 = 5

The slope is 5.
