Question

What is the slope of the line (2,3) (1,-2)?

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with this fomula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Given the points (2,3) and (1,-2), you can identify that:

$y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\x_2=1\\x_1=2$

Now, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$, getting that the slope of this line is:

 $m=\frac{-2-3}{1-2}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-1}\\\\m=5$

Answer 2

Answer:

M = 5X

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope of a line equation

$m \: = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

so plug in your x and y's

$m = \frac{ - 2 - 3}{1 - 2}$

m = 5x

remember negative devided by negative is a positive. also dont forget to add your x at the end.
