Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (3, 5), (7,3) 02 2. IN - 2

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the slope of a line. To do that we need to use the following formula:

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

Where:

`\begin{gathered} (x_2,y_2)=(3,5) \\ (x_1,y_1)=(7,3) \end{gathered}`

Replacing in the formula:

`m=(5-3)/(3-7)`

Solving the operations:

`m=(2)/(-4)=-(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2
