Question

Slope of (7, -2) and (2, -6)

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf{m=(4)/(5)}}`

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we will use the slope.

Slope:

`\sf(Y_2-Y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run)`

y2=(-6)

y1=(-2)

x2=2

x1=7

Solve the problem by rewriting it down.

`\sf{((-6)-(-2))/(2-7) }=((-6)+2)/(2-7)=\boxed{(4)/(5) }`

m=4/5

Therefore, the slope is 4/5.

I hope this helps! Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
