Question

How do you find the slope of the line that passes through `A(2,2), B(-5,4)`?

Answer 1

`m=-2/7`

Explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through the 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 the requested slope is:

`m=(4-2)/(-5-2)=-2/7`
