Question

can you help me with number 10 it says find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points C(3,5) D(2, 6)

Answer 1

To find the slope

Points given are:

C(3,5) D(2, 6)

x₁ = 3 y₁ = 5 x₂ = 2 y₂ =6

Using the formula below :

`\text{slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Substitute the values and evaluate

`\text{slope =}(6-5)/(2-3)`
`=(1)/(-1)=-1`

Hence, the slope is -1
