Question

How do you find the slope for (0,0); (-2,7)?

Answer 1

The slope, `m=-7/2` .

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

where `m` is the slope and `x_1` and `y_1` are a point on the line, and `x_2` and `y_2` are another point on the line. For the purposes of answering this question, Point 1=`(0,0)` and Point 2=`(-2,7)`.

`m=(7-0)/(-2-0)=7/-2=-7/2`
