Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (4,-2) (3,5)
M=

Answer 1

slope = - 7

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 5 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

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