Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (7,2) and (3,5)

Answer 1

To calculate the slope containing two points, we can use that formula:

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

"m" represents the slope and coordinates are expressed as follows: (x, y)

Let's go to the calculations.

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{5-2}{3-7}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{3}{-4}}\\\\\\ \underline{\mathsf{m=-0,75}}$

The answer is -0.75.
