Question

How do you find the slope of the line that passes through (11,7), (-6,2)?

Answer 1

the slope is `5/17`

Explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through two points `A(x_1;y_1)` and `B(x_2;y_2)` is calculated by the formula:

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

Then, for the given points, the slope is:

`m=(2-7)/(-6-11)`

`m=(-5)/-17=5/17`
