Question

Find the slope of the line that contains (5, -7) and (6, -4).

Answer 1

-4 + 7 = 3
6 - 5 = 1

m = 3

Answer 2

Y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 3

(x1,y1) -> (x2,y2)

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(5,-7) (6,-4) -> your points

plug them in as such

m = (-4 - (-7)) / (6 - 5)
m = 3/1
m = 3

Answer 4

m = (-4 +7)/(6-5) = 3
