Question

Slope of -5 2). (3,9)

Answer 1

The slope of the given two points is
`m=(7)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given two points are (-5,2) and (3,9)

To find the slope with these two points

Let
`(x_(1),y_(1))` and
`(x_(2),y_(2))` be the given points

By using Slope Formula:

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

`m=(9-2)/(3-(-5))`

`m=(9-2)/(3+5)` ( subtracting and adding the corresponding terms)

`m=(7)/(8)`

Therefore slope is
`m=(7)/(8)`

The slope of the given two points is
`m=(7)/(8)`
