Question

Find the slope of the line passing through (6, -2) and (-5, 5)

Answer 1

• (6,-2)
• (-5,5)

Slope:-

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(5+2)/(-5-6)`

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(-7)/(11)`

Answer 2

Answer:
`-(7)/(11)`

Explanation:

The formula for finding slope is
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Where
`(x_(1) ,y_(1) )` are the coordinates of the first point and
`(x_(2) ,y_(2) )` are the coordinates of the second point.

Sub the values in

`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )\\(5-(-2))/(-5-6) \\`

Now solve

`(5-(-2))/(-5-6) \\(7)/(-11)`
