Question

How to find the slope of (0,7) and (5,9)?

Answer 1

The slope is 2/5 (0.4).

Explanation:

The formula for finding a slope is m = (yB - yA)/(xB - xA). That equation becomes:

m = (9 - 7)/(5 - 0)

Subtract 7 from 9 to get 2.

m = 2/(5 - 0)

Any number subtracted by 0 equals itself.

m = 2/5, or 0.4 is the final answer.
