Question

Find the slope of the line give these two points: (0,5) and (-7, -8) *

Answer 1

m=13/7

Explanation:

the equation for slope (m) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

the given points are (0,5) and (-7,-8)

we can label them:

x1=0

y1=5

x2=-7

y2=-8

now substitute into the equation

m=(-8-5)/(-7-0)

m=-13/-7

m=13/7

the slope is 13/7

hope this helps!
