Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. E(5, 2), F(2, -3)

Answer 1

Answer:

            $\bold{m=\dfrac53}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{slope\, (m)=\dfrac{change\ in\ Y}{change\ in\ X}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

E(5, 2)    ⇒   x₁ = 5,  y₁ = 2

F(2, -3)    ⇒   x₂ = 2,  y₂ = -3

So the slope:

                    $\bold{m=\dfrac{-3-2}{2-5}=\dfrac{-5}{-3}=\dfrac53}$
