Question

Slope of (-2-7)(3,5)

Answer 1

The equation to find slope is basically;
Rise/Run or (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

And the answer of this problem will equal when the point are put into equation;
=12/5

So your slope is 12/5!

Answer 2

To find the slope \( m \) of the line passing through two points, you can use the formula:

\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Where:
\( (x_1, y_1) \) is the first point.
\( (x_2, y_2) \) is the second point.

Given the points are:
\( (x_1, y_1) = (-2, -7) \)
\( (x_2, y_2) = (3, 5) \)

Plug in the values:

\[ m = \frac{5 - (-7)}{3 - (-2)} \]
\[ m = \frac{12}{5} \]
\[ m = 2.4 \]

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,-7) and (3,5) is 2.4.
