Answer:

-15/2 or -7.5 or -7½

Negative StartFraction 15 Over 2 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope or gradient of a line is the ratio of change in y co-ordinates to the change in x co-ordinates.

Therefore;

M=∆y÷∆x

The change in y co-ordinates is given by

∆y=y2-y1

Similarly, change in x co-ordinates is given by

∆x=x2-x1

Given the two points as (5, 80) and (7, 65)

X1=5 Y1=80

X2=7 Y2=65

∆y=65-80=-15

∆x=7-5=2

Hence ∆y÷∆x will be -15÷2=-7.5 or -7½

Answer:

(-4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of both lines will be shown below.

To find the solution, we need to find the point on the graph that both lines intersect on.

As we can see, both lines intersect on the point (-4, -3). Thus, that is the solution.
