Question

How do you find the slope of the line passing through (-6, 5) and (-7,-2)?

Answer 1

slope is 7

Explanation:

We will find the slope (m) of the line passing through the given points `(x_1;y_1)` and `(x_2;y_2)` by the following formula:

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

Then we will get:

`m=(-2-5)/(-7+6)=-7/-1=7`
