Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,7) and (2, -5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = Rise/Run

We can find the amount between 7 and -5 as 12, and -2 and 2 as 4.

Then we can do rise/run and 12/4

Which would divide into 3.

ANd because we can see the x increases as the y decreases, we can find that it's a negative slope.
