Question

: The slope of the line that passes through the points (5,10) and (2,12) is

Answer 1

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you use rise over run. so 12 - 10 over 2 - 5. That is 2 over negative 3. so negative two thirds. I hope this helps and please mark me brainliest!

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -2/3; b = 13 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔX = 2 – 5 = -3

ΔY = 12 – 10 = 2

2/-3 = -2/3

Equation for b:

$10 = -\frac{2}{3} (5)+b\\10 = -3 \frac{1}{3} +b\\13 \frac{1}{3} =b$
