Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points

>> (-5/3, -1) & (-2, -9/2)

A:  2/33
B: -2/33
C: -33/2
D:  33/2

Answer 1

`Slope= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (-(9)/(2) - (-1))/(-2- (-(5)/(3)))=( - (9)/(2) + 1)/(-2 + (5)/(3)) \\= ( - (7)/(2))/( - (1)/(3)) \\= ( - (7)/(2)\cdot6)/( - (1)/(3)\cdot6) \\=(-21)/( -2) \\ =\boxed{\bf{ (21)/(2)}}`

So... none of your answers are correct. The correct answer is 21/2.
