Question

What is the slope of the line
through (2, 10) and (-2, 17)?

Answer 1

The answer is

`\huge - (7)/(4) \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

From the question we have

`m = (17 - 10)/( - 2 - 2) = (7)/( - 4) = - (7)/(4) \\`

We have the final answer as

`- (7)/(4) \\`

Hope this helps you
