Question

How do you find the slope for (3,7) and (-2,11)?

Answer 1

`color(indigo)(Slope = m = -(4/5)`

Explanation:

Knowing two points on a line, we can find the slope of the line using the formula

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

Given `(x_1, y_1) = (3,7), (x_2, y_2) = (-2,11)`

`m = (11 - 7) / (-2 - 3)`

`m = 4 / -5`
