Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 1) and (3,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

- 8/5

Explanation:

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

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

m = -7 - 1/3 - -2

m = -8/5

m = - 8/5

The slope is - 8/5

Answer 2

• (-2,1)
• (3,-7)

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Slope=(-7-1)/(3+2)`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Slope=(-8)/(5)`
