Question

Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line.

(-3, 0) and (2, 7)

Answer 1

The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). 7-0= 7 2--3=5 slope =7/5 

Answer 2

The slope is
`(7)/(5)`.

Explanation:

We know that,

If a line passes through the points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`,

Then, the slope of the line is

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

Here,
`x_1=-3`,
`y_1=0`
`x_2=2`.
`y_2=7`,

Hence, the slope of the given line is,

`m=(7-0)/(2-(-3))`

`=(7)/(2+3)`

`=(7)/(5)`
