Question

Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line. (-3, 0) and (2, 7) slope = -7/5

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope= 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is determined as a ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

Slope=Δy/Δx

Δy=y₂-y₁

Δx=x₂-x₁

Therefore we can use the the x and y coordinates from the points given, (-3,0) and (2,7) to calculate the slope.

m= (7-0)/(2-⁻3)

Slope= 7/5

When a negative number is subtracted from a number it the operation sign changes to addition.

Answer 2

Answer: Last option

$slope=\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the slope m of a line is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

Where $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are two points through which the line passes

In this case the points are: (-3, 0) and (2, 7)

Therefore the slope is:

$m=\frac{7-0}{2-(-3)}$

$m=\frac{7}{2+3}$

$m=\frac{7}{5}$

The answer is the last option
