Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points (2, -7) and (5,7)

Answer 1

14/3

Explanation:

Given two points we can find the slope using

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

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

= (7+7)/3

= 14/3

Answer 2

Answer: 14/3

Explanation:

To find the slope with only 2 given points, you use the formula
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`.

Since we have our points, we can directly plug into the formula.

`(7-(-7))/(5-2) =(14)/(3)`. 14/3 is our slope.
