Question

Slope between (-2,11) 5,6)

Answer 1

To calculate the slope, you can first substract the points to get the vector that join both, you may do it like this:

(-2, 11) - (5,6) = (-2 - 5, 11 - 6) = (-7, 5)

To get the slope when you get the vector (x,y), you will have to divide y be x:

5/-7

So the slope is 5/-7,
`-(5)/(7)`

Answer 2

-
`(5)/(7)`

Explanation:

Slope =
`(rise)/(run)`

=
`(6-11)/(5-(-2))`

=
`(6-11)/(5+2)`

=
`(-5)/(7)`

= -
`(5)/(7)`
