Question

Find the slope: (2,7) and (5, 12)

Answer 1

Answer:

5/3 or 1.666...

Step-by-step explanation:

SLOPE: get the difference of each coordinate and divide them.

two points: A(2,7) and B(5,12)

we subtract ax from bx:

5 - 2 = 3, "dx"

and subtract ay from by:

12 - 7 = 5, "dy"

now we divide dy/dx:

5/3 or 1.666...

that's the slope
