Question

Find the slopes of the lines passing through each of the following pairs of points

(5,2), (3,3)

Slope =

If you don't know please Don't answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

Formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Givens

You can choose either of the points to be y2 and x2. I'll let x2,y2 = 5.2

y2 = 2

y1 = 3

x2 = 5

x1 = 3

Solution

m = (2 - 3) / (5 - 3)

m = - 1 / 2

So the slope is either - 1/2 or - 0.5
