Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through points (-3, 5) and (1, 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you need to do rise/run not run/rise,  you set it up as a table

x l y       Then, you would just find the difference between the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates, and find whether they increase or decrease

-3,5                         you can see that from -3 to postive 1 there

 1,2                         is an increase of 4.  you can also see that from 5 to 2 there is a decrease of 3.  The y and x point have to flop places to become rise/run and it shows that the slope is -3/4 :) i hope this helps
