Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Convert into improper fraction.

2 1/2 = 5/2

Step 2. Convert the fractions into common denominator.

5/2 = 10/4

Step 3. Subtract.

3/4 - 10/4 = -7/4

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,5) and (8,7)?

Hatshy [7]

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

$m=\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}$

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

The formula for the slope of two given lines given is 'rise over run'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Slope Formula:}}\\\\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\rightarrow (x_1,y_1),(x_2,x_1) - \text{Two Points Given}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

We are given the points (3,5) and (8,7).

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{7-5}{8-3}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m=\frac{2}{5}}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The figure below shows a straight line AB intersected by another straight line t:

BaLLatris [955]

When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.

If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.

Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 3+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Subtract from the first equation the second equation:

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2-(m\angle 3+m\angle 2)=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ},\\ m\angle 1-m\angle 3=0,\\ m\angle 1=m\angle 3$ .

Similarly you can prove that $m\angle 2=m\angle 4$ .
