Question

What's the slope of (6, 5) and (3, 7.5) ?​

Answer 1

The slope of (6, 5) and (3, 7.5) is 5/-6.

As a decimal: (-0.83333333333...)

Explanation:

Formula for slope:

`m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

('m' means slope.)

`(x^1,y^1) =` coordinates of the first coordinate point

`(x^2,y^2)=` coordinates of the second coordinate point.

--------------------------

Coordinates:

`(6,5)(3,7.5)`

-------------------------

Now, I will simply plug the numbers into the formula.

`m=(7.5-5)/(3-6) =(2.5)/(-3) =5/-6`
