Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through (2, 5) and (-6, -2) ?

Answer 1

Answer:
slope = 7/8

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following equation:
slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

The two points given are:
(2,5) representing (x1 , y1)
(-6,-2) representing (x2 , y2)

Substitute with the points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
slope = $\frac{-2 - 5}{-6 - 2}$ = 7/8

Hope this helps :)
