Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through(5,7) and (7,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: y = -0.5x + 9.5.

Answer 2

Answer:

-0.5 or -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line given two points if $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

• $\frac{(6)-(7)}{(7)-(5)}$
• $\frac{-1}{2}$
• $-0.5$

Therefore, the slope is -0.5 or -1/2.
