Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (0,-5) and (4,2)

A. -7/4
B. -4/7
C. 4/7
D. 7/4

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

Explanation:

`SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(2-(-5))/(4-0)=(7)/(4)`

Slope is 7/4.

Final answer is 7/4.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

Hello! The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. That means that you subtract the first y-coordinate from the second y-coordinate and the first x-coordinate from the second x-coordinate. Let's plug in the numbers and solve it. 2 - (-5) / 4 - 0. When you solve it, you get 7/4. There. The slope is 7/4. The answer is D: 7/4.
