Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points.

R(-3, 5), S(3, -2)

Answer 1

Formula for the slope:
m = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ), where :
x 1 = - 3 , y 1 = 5
x 2 = 3, y 2 = - 2
m = ( - 2 - 5 ) / ( 3 - ( - 3 ) ) = - 7 / ( 3 + 3 ) = 7 / 6
Answer:
The slope is m = - 7/6
