In order to find this, we need to know that the value of M's points will always be the average of A and B's points. This is because it is the midpoint. Therefore we can use the following formula.

Value of x

(A + B)/2 = M

(-8 + B)/2 = -3

-8 + B = -6

B = 2

Then we can do the same for the y values

Value of y

(A + B)/2 = M

(-2 + B)/2 = -3

-2 + B = -6

B = 4

What is the slope of the line that goes through (2, 5) and (-6, -2) ?

alexira [117]

Answer:
slope = 7/8

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following equation:
slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

The two points given are:
(2,5) representing (x1 , y1)
(-6,-2) representing (x2 , y2)

Substitute with the points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
slope = $\frac{-2 - 5}{-6 - 2}$ = 7/8

Hope this helps :)
