Question

A. (5, 7) and (-4,-2)
find the slope of a line

Answer 1

m = 1

Explanation:

refer to attached picture for reference

we are given 2 points

(x₁, y₁) = (5,7)

(x₂,y₂) = (-4,-2)

simply substitute these into the given equation for slope

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

= (-2 -7) / (-4 - 5)

= -9 / -9

= 1

Answer 2

Answer: m = 1

Step-by-step explanation: Use the slope formula to find the slope m.
