Question

Find the slope, (5,0) and (0.-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 1 2/5 or 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the y2 - y1/x2 - x1 format, you first replace the variables with the points (5 and 0 can be x1, y1, while 0 and -7 can be x2, y2)

-7 - 0/0 - 5

Now subtract: -7 - 0 = -7; 0 - 5 = -5

You would get -7/-5, which simplified: 1.4 or 1 2/5

:p

there you go!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-7}{-5}$

-7/-5

is the slope.

or -1 -2/-2  

you pick.

Step-by-step explanation:

Δy/Δx

-7-0 / 0-5

-7 / -5

-7/-5

is the slope.

change in y over change in x

y2-y1 over x2-x1

simplify if possible.

-1 -2/-2

it's negative.
