Answer:
Explanation:
Calculates the distance between two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
Parameters:
x1 the x-coordinate of the first point
y1 the y-coordinate of the first point
x2 the x-coordinate of the second point
y2 the y-coordinate of the second point
M= Y2 – Y1 / X2 – X1
It does not matter which is (x1, y1) and which is (x2, y2).
Plug in the values and simply. The result is the value of the slope.
Using the information that the coordinates are (4,2) and (5,7)
Let's make (4,2) x1, y1; and (5,7) x2, y2
M= 7 - 2 / 5 - 2 ==> 5/3 is the answer
