Question

Determine the slope for the line that meets each condition stated. Show your work. Passes through the points ( 3 , 5 ) and ( − 1 , − 7 ) . Passes through the points given by the table of values.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through (-1, -7) and (3, 5) is 3

Explanation:

The slope of the line is calculated using the following rule:

$Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

We are given the following points:

(3 , 5) representing (x₁ , y₁)

(-1 , -7) representing (x₂ , y₂)

To get the slope, we will simply substitute with the givens in the above equation

This is done as follows:

$Slope = \frac{-7-5}{-1-3}=3$

You haven't attached the table for the second part. However, follow the same procedure. Pick two points from the table, substitute with them in the above equation and you'll get the slope

Hope this helps :)
