Question

Slope between (-2,11) 5,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

-$\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{rise}{run}$

          = $\frac{6-11}{5-(-2)}$

          = $\frac{6-11}{5+2}$

          = $\frac{-5}{7}$

          = -$\frac{5}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

To calculate the slope, you can first substract the points to get the vector that join both, you may do it like this:

(-2, 11) - (5,6) = (-2 - 5, 11 - 6) = (-7, 5)

To get the slope when you get the vector (x,y), you will have to divide y be x:

5/-7

So the slope is 5/-7, $-\frac{5}{7}$
