Question

What is the Slope of a line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (1,7) ?

Answer 1

Hello there!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`(7-5=2)/(1-(-3)=1+3=4)=(2)/(4)=(2/2)/(4/2)=(1)/(2)`

Slope is 1/2

Answer is 1/2

Have a great day!

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

Find the change in the y coordinates

7-5=2

Find the change in the x coordinates

1--3 or 1+3= 4

Divide the changes in the y and x coordinates

2/4= 1/2

The slope is 1/2. Hope this helps!
