Question

Fint we giopve of thas fnae apaing thpnigl tpis poirta (-5, 4) angFind the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 3) and (7, 9).

Answer 1

6/12 or 0.5

Explanation:

The slope is 6/12 or 0.5

To find the slope you use the formula y2-y1 over x2-x1 or you could do rise over run but personally I prefer using the formula.

(-5,3)

(7, 9)

9-3 over 7-(-5)

9-3=6

7-(-5)=12

6/12 or 0.5
