Question

7
Find the slope of the line passing through the given points (7, 13) and (2, -12).

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

13 - -12 = 25

7-2 = 5

25/5 = 5

Answer 2

`m=5`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (7, 13)

Point (2, -12)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(-12-13)/(2-7)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(-25)/(-5)`
3. Divide:
   `m=5`
