Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 11) and (7, 4).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (2, 11) and (7, 4).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{4-11}{7-2}=\dfrac{-7}{5}=-\dfrac{7}{5}$
