Question

8.

Find the slope of the in line containing the ordered pairs. (7 marks)
a. A(2,-5), B(-2,6)

Answer 1

-2.75 (-2 3/4)

Explanation:

you can do rise of a run whenever you have two points so you have 6-(-5)/-2-2 and solve so -11/4 and that equals -2.75.

Answer 2

= -11/4

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points

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

= (6 - -5)/(-2 -2)

= (6+5)/(-2-2)

= 11/-4

= -11/4
