Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3/2, -2) and (-3, 7/3)?

A. -27/26
B. -26/27
C. 26/27
D. 27/26

Can y'all explain, because I know the answer is B, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get to that answer.

Answer 1

Answer B.

Explanation: The formula to find slope is as follows (y2-y1) / (x2-x1). You fill in the x and y coordinates to the corresponding spot. Meaning, you would place the 2nd y value, which is 7/3, at y2. Do this for the rest of the values. After filling in each value, you would then subtract accordingly, leaving you with the slope value. Hope this helps.
