Question

For each pair of points, find the slope of the line that passes through the points.

(5, 4) and (0:1)
(3,7) and (-2,2)

Answer 1

hello! :)

Use the slope formula:-

`\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`\displaystyle(1-4)/(0-5)=(-3)/(-5) =(3)/(5)`

Second pair:-

`\displaystyle(2-7)/(-2-3) =(-5)/(-5) =1`

notes:-

If we multiply/divide a negative by a negative, we get a positive. :)

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
