Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,7) and (-1,9).

Answer 1

Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Slope Formula:
`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

------------------------------------------------

Solution:

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\m = (9 - 7)/(-1 - 5)\\m = (2)/(-6) \\m = (1)/(-3)`

------------------------------------------------

Answer:

`\large\boxed{-(1)/(3) }`
