Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\\ &({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -7}}) \end{array} \\\quad \\\\\quad \\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}$

you tell us

Answer 2

Slope =  y2-y1 / x2-x1
