Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(5.3, –2.5), (7.3, –12.5)

Answer 1

passes through the pair of points.

(5.3, –2.5), (7.3, –12.5)

slope = (-12.5 + 2.5)/ (7.3 - 5.3) = -10/2 = -5

answer:

slope = -5

Answer 2

Slope of the line = -5

Explanation:

the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(5.3, –2.5), (7.3, –12.5)

slope of the line formula is

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

(5.3, –2.5) is (1,y1) and (7.3, –12.5) is (x2,y2)

Plug in all the values in the formula

`(-12.5 +2.5)/(7.3-5.3)=(-10)/(2)=-5`

Slope of the line = -5
