Question

What is the slope of (7,9.5) (2,7)

Answer 1

Answer: m=0.5

Explanation:

Let's find the slope between your two points.

(7,9.5);(2,7)

(x1,y1)=(7,9.5)

(x2,y2)=(2,7)

Use the slope formula:

m=Let's find the slope between your two points.

(7,9.5);(2,7)

(x1,y1)=(7,9.5)

(x2,y2)=(2,7)

Use the slope formula:

y2−y1/y2−y1

7−9.5/2-7

2.5/-5 m=0.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (7, 9.5)

Point (2, 7)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m=(7-9.5)/(2-7)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(-2.5)/(-5)`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle m=0.5`
