Question

Find the slope of (7, 9) and (2, 12)

Answer 1

The slope of the line that goes through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is:

$\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

The two points we are given is (7,9) and (2,12). Substitute these values into the formula for the slope

$=\dfrac{12-9}{2-7}$

Simplify

$=\dfrac{3}{-5}$

Simplify again

$=-\dfrac{3}{5}$

This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
