Question

Slope of (7, -2) and (2, -6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{m=\frac{4}{5}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we will use the slope.

Slope:

$\sf\dfrac{Y_2-Y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run}$

y2=(-6)

y1=(-2)

x2=2

x1=7

Solve the problem by rewriting it down.

$\sf{\dfrac{(-6)-(-2)}{2-7} }=\dfrac{(-6)+2}{2-7}=\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5} }$

m=4/5

Therefore, the slope is 4/5.

I hope this helps! Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

it's -8/5 because you subtract y2 from y1 and x2 from x1
