Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,5) and (3/2, 2).

Answer 1

The answer is

`- (6)/(7)`

Explanation:

The slope of the line passing through two points can be found by using the formula

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

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The points are (-2,5) and (3/2, 2)

The slope is

`m = (2 - 5)/( (3)/(2) + 2) \\ = - (3)/( (7)/(2) ) \\ = - 3 / (7)/(2) \\ = - 3 * (2)/(7)`

We have the final answer as

`- (6)/(7)`
