Question

6. Find the slope of the graphed line (-5,7) (0,4.5)

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\boxed{\mathrm{m=-\cfrac{2.5}{5}}}\:or\:\boxed{\mathrm{m=-0.5}}}`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Slope=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}`

`\mathrm{\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-5,\:7\right)}`

`\mathrm{\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:4.5\right)}`

`\mathrm{m=\cfrac{4.5-7}{0-\left(-5\right)}}`

`\mathrm{m=-\cfrac{2.5}{5}}`

`\mathrm{m=-0.5}`
