Question

Wm =y2-yiX2-X1Find the slope of the line that passesthrough these two points.(2,5) (3,-3)m = [?]=

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we have to substitute the given points in the given formula for the slope (m).

In this case,

`\begin{gathered} y_1=5, \\ y_2=-3, \\ x_1=2, \\ x_2=3. \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`m=(5-(-3))/(2-3)\text{.}`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`m=(5+3)/(-1)=(8)/(-1)=-8.`

Answer:

`m=-8.`
