Question

What is the slope for (-3,5),(4,-3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

gradient=y2-y1÷x-x1

=-3-5÷4--3

=-8/7

y=mx+

because we have (-3,5)and(4,-3) so you can choose any bracket that you want to use , let's use bracket one that is (-3,5)

5=-8/7(-3)+c

Answer 2

To calculate the slope of a line that passes through two given points you have to use the following formula

`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

Where

m is the slope

(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of one of the points

(x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the second point

For the points (-3,5) and (4,-3) you can calculate the slope as follows

`m=(-3-5)/(4-(-3))=(-8)/(4+3)=-(8)/(7)`

The slope is -8/7
