Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,7) AND (2,-6)

Answer 1

(y2-y1/x2-x1)=slope so it would be

slope = (-6-7/2-3)

= (-13/-1)

slope = 13

Answer 2

-13/5. The equation to find the slope between 2 points is y sub 2-y sub 1/x sub 2-x sub 1. Or in this case, -6-7/2+3. -6-7=-13, 2+3=5. So the slope is -13/5.
