Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5,2) and (-7,6)

Answer 1

Find the gradient of the line.

Since Gradient = Rise / Run,

Gradient = (2-6) / (-5+7) = -4 / 2 = -2

Hence, the slope of the line is -2.

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

remember slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

6-2/-7-(-5)

4/-2= -2
