How do you determine the slope of (2,7) and (7,2)? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Rachel Apr 1, 2018 We use the slope formula, which saws we divide y_2 - y_1 by x_2 - x_1, or the second coordinate pair minus the first one (2 ,7) and (7,2) (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) (2-7)/(7-2) (-5)/(5) -1 Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
