Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `( 7,-2 ) ,(-3, -6)`?

Answer 1

`slope=2/5`

Explanation:

You can find the slope by using the following formula:

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

where `(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)` are the given points.

Then

`slope=(-6+2)/(-3-7)`

`=(-4)/-10=2/5`
