Question

Slope of (5,1) and (2,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

    ↓

$\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{Rise}{Run}$

$Y_2=7\\Y_1=1\\X_2=2\\X_1=5$

$\frac{7-1}{2-5}=\frac{6}{-3}=\frac{6\div-3}{-3\div-3}=\frac{-2}{1}=-2$

Therfore the slope is -2.

-2 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!
