Question

Find the slope given the points (-5 -3) and (2 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$, the points are (-5, -3) and (2, 4), so to know which is which just do it by order, so in this case $y_{1} = 4, y_{2} = -3, x_{1} = -5, x_{2} = 2$ basically like i said, just in order.

So let's separate the equations into 2 for now:

$y_{2} - y_{1}$ = 4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7

$x_{2} - x_{1}$ = 2 - (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7

So put it together into the fraction and it's 7/7 which is 1, so the slope is 1

Answer 2

The slope is 1.

rise = 7
run = 7

7/7 = 1
