How to calculate slope for a line that goes through

two points.
10.2: Practice
y
Find the slope of the line through these points. Try
making a table.
-3
6
(5.-3) and (-1.6)

Answer 1

The slope is
`m=-(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

The slope point equation is given by:

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Here:

The first point is (x1,y1)=(5,-3)

The first point is (x2,y2)=(-1,6)

Then, the slope will be:

`m=(6-(-3))/(-1-5)`

`m=(9)/(-6)`

`m=-(3)/(2)`
