Question

(-2, 11) & (5,6) What is the slope of the equation between these two points?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m =\dfrac{-5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Two points (-2,11) and (5,6) .

And we need to find out the slope of the equation between the two points. The slope of the line passing through two points , is given by ,

$\implies Slope (m) =\dfrac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

• Here the two points are (-2,11) and (5,6) .So put on the respective values ,

$\implies Slope (m) =\dfrac{ 11 - 6}{-2-5}\\\\\implies Slope = \dfrac{5}{-7} \\\\\implies Slope = \dfrac{-5}{7}$

Hence the slope of the line is -5/7 .
