Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?

A.1/2
B.1
C.2

Answer 1

A. 1/2

Explanation:

You have to do the slope formula which is ..

`(Y_(2)-Y_(1) )/(X_(2) -X_(1) )`

Once you input the coordinates into the formula, it should look like this..

`(7-2)/(1-(-3))`

You solve that and you'll get
`(2)/(4)` which can be simplified to
`(1)/(2)`
