Question

Find the slope of the line through the given points: (3,-5) and (-2,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope: -14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find slope by doing change in y/change in x

Change in y = 9-(-5) = 14

Change in x = -2-3 = -5

Slope: 14/-5, can be written as -14/5

Answer 2

Answer:

-2 4/5 or -2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this problem would be y2 - y1/x2 - x1. You can name any number 1 or 2 as long as the x and y coordinates are right

Equation:

9 - (-5)/-2 -3 = 14/-5 = -2 4/5
