Question

What is the slope of the line between `(24,32)` and `(16,-5)`?

Answer 1

The slope
`m=(37)/(8)`

Explanation:

The points are
`(24,32) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

`(16 , -5) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The slope is found using formula :

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(-5-32)/(16 - 24)`

`m=(-37)/(-8)`
