Question

Find the slope of a line through the given points.
(3-7), (5,5)

Answer 1

11/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: m = 6

Explanation: Start by writing down the slope formula.

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

We take the second y minus the first y over the second x minus the first x.

m = 5 - (-7) / 5 - 3

m = 12 / 2

m = 6

So the slope of our line is 6.
