Question

How do you find the slope of a line passing through the given points E(5, 7), F(3, 1)?

Answer 1

In order to find the slope, `m`, when you know two points on a line, use the equation: `m=(y_2-y_2)/(x_2-x_1)` .

Make Point E `(x_1,y_1)=(5,7)`
Make Point F `(x_2,y_2)=(3,1)`

`m=(1-7)/(3-5)=(-6)/-2=3`
