Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through(5,7) and (7,6)

Answer 1

-0.5 or -1/2

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line given two points if
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

• 
  `((6)-(7))/((7)-(5))`
• 
  `(-1)/(2)`
• 
  `-0.5`

Therefore, the slope is -0.5 or -1/2.

Answer 2

Equation: y = -0.5x + 9.5.
