Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{-1-2}{7+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$A(-3,2)\ B(7,-1)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{-1-2}{7+3}$

$m=\frac{-3}{10}=-0.3$

Answer 2

M= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). the formula stated is how to find the slope of a line with two known points. plug in your numerical values and solve.
