Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (−5, 7) and (10, 1)?

Answer 1

slope = (Y2 -Y1) / (X2 -X1)

slope = (1 -7) / (10 --5)

slope = -6 / 15 = -.4

Explanation:

Answer 2

Your answer is -6 over 15

Explanation:

Use the formula y2-y1 over x2- x1 to solve the slope. Then plug in your numbers. It would be 1- 7 over 10 - (-5). This equals -6/15, which would be the slope.
