Question

(-3,7), (5,11) what is the slope and can u show me how u got it please ​

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

The formula for slope:
`(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

Plug in:

`(11-7)/(5-(-3))`

11 - 7 = 4

5-(-3)

5 + 3 = 8

4/8 = 1/2

The slope is 1/2.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

The formula for the slope is:

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

Assign each given point to a variable:

• (x₁, y₁) = (-3, 7)
• (x₂, y₂) = (5, 11)

Substitute in the values into the formula:

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(11-7)/(5-(-3))=(4)/(8) =(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the slope is 1/2.
