Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `( -3,2), (2,-5)`?

Answer 1

The slope is `m =-7/5`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is

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

For the coordinate points `(-3,2) and (2,-5)`
`x_1 = -3`
`x_2 = 2`
`y_1 = 2`
`y_2 = -5`

`m = (-5-2)/(2-(-3))`

`m = -7/5`

The slope is `m =-7/5`
