Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the point(-2,7) and(2,3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given points (-2 ,7 ) and (2 ,3 )

Now slope can be calculated by using the formula

`slope(m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

`(7 - 3)/( - 2 - 2)`

= 4/-4

= -1

Answer 2

m=-1

Explanation:

The slope formula is:

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

Plug the numbers into this formula

`(3-7)/(2--2)`

`(-4)/(4)`

-1

So the slope is -1
