2x + -7 +8 = -x+16
2x + 1 = -x +16
2x +1 -1= -x +16 -1
2x+x = -x +x + 15
3x = 15
3x/3 = 15/3
x= 5

2(5) + -7 +8 = -5+16
10 +-7+8 = 11
11=11

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 3) and (7,9).

dybincka [34]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points

$(-5;\ 3)\to x_1=-5;\ y_1=3\\(7;\ 9)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=9$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{9-3}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{6}{7+5}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{6:6}{12:6}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
