Question

Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line. (-3, 0) and (2, 7)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is  $\frac{7}{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

If a line passes through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$,

Then, the slope of the line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here, $x_1=-3$, $y_1=0$ $x_2=2$. $y_2=7$,

Hence, the slope of the given line is,

$m=\frac{7-0}{2-(-3)}$

$=\frac{7}{2+3}$

$=\frac{7}{5}$

Answer 2

The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). 7-0= 7 2--3=5 slope =7/5
