Question

Find the slope for each set of points and give 2 more points on the line…(5,-2) and (6,-5)

Answer 1

Given:

Two points are (5,-2) and (6,-5).

Required:

Find the slope for the given set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passes through from the point

`(x_1,y_1)\text{ and \lparen x}_2,y_2)`

is given by the formula:

`slope\text{ m =}(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Thus the slope of the given points is:

`\begin{gathered} m=(-5-(-2))/(6-5) \\ =(-5+2)/(1) \\ =-3 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer:

The slope for the given point set is -3.f
