Question

What is the slope of the line passing through he points (-5,7) and (-3,5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

C.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (5-7)/(-3--5)

   = 2/(-3+5)

   =2/2

   =1

Answer 2

Hello there! The answer to your question is C. 1!

To find the slope, subtract the y values over the x values using the formula $\frac{y^{1} - y^{2}}{x^{1} - x^{2}}$

Insert the values of the points given and solve:

$\frac{5 - 7}{3 - - 5}$

$\frac{-2}{-2}$

Now, simplify

$\frac{-1}{-1}$

The negatives cancel each other out, so you are left with:

$\frac{1}{1}$ or 1, making C your answer.

I hope this helps, have a great day!
