Question

14) Find the slope of the line containing the points (5, 3) and (-7, 2).

A. −52
B. 112
C. -4
D. 12

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

the line containing the points (5, 3) and (-7, 2).

x1= 5

y1= 3

x2= -7

y2=2

Step two:

The slope is given as

Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

substitute

Slope= 2-3/-7-5

Slope= -1/-12

Slope = 1/12
