Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points below. (5,7) and (6,3)

Answer 1

Answer: y-7=-4(x-5)

Explanation:

find slope:

y2-y1/x2-x1=m

3-7/6-5=-4/1=-4

put into point slope formula using point a (5/7), m=-4

y-7=-4(x-5)

Answer 2

-4

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-7)/(6-5)

m=-4/1

m=-4
