Question

Which expression can be used to determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, 3) and (1,-97

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m of the line using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 97)

m =
`(-97-3)/(1+7)` =
`(-100)/(8)` = -
`(25)/(2)`
