Question

Calculate the slope between the two points given (-2,10) (1,5)

Answer 1

We have the next formula to calculate the slope between 2 points

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

where (x1,y1) is one point and the other is (x2,y2)

in this case, we have

(-2,10)=(x1,y1)

(1,5)=(x2,y2)

then we substitute the values

`m=(5-10)/(1+2)=(-5)/(3)=-(5)/(3)`

the slope is -5/3
