Question

How can i use the slope formula to find the slope between (2, -7) and (1, 6)

Answer 1

To find the slope using the formula, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.

- The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), or the change in the y values over the change in the x values.

Tell me if you want the answer of what the slope is. Although, it would be better for you to work it out yourself!

Hope that helps. x

Answer 2

-13

Explanation:

gradient = change in y/change in x

change in y = 6- -7=13

change in x = 1-2 = -1

gradient = 13/-1 = -13
