Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (3,5), (9,-2)

Answer 1

The slope of a line given two points can be found using the formula:

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

from the points: (3,5) and (9,-2)

x1 =3, y1 = 5

x2 = 9, y2 = -2

We can then substitute the values into the above equation

`slope\text{= }\frac{-2\text{-}5}{9\text{ - }3}`

`slope\text{= }(-7)/(6)`

slope = - 7/ 6

correct option = option B
