Question

Which expression can be used to fine the slope of a line containing the points (-3,2) and (7,-1)

Answer 1

Hello there! you can use the expression $\frac{ y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2} }$!

To find slope, subtract the y values over the x values.

In this case:

2 - - 1 / - 3 - 7

3 / -10

So, -3/10 would be the slope of these points.

Hope this helps, have a great day!
