Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-3, 5) and (2, 7)?

Answer 1

slope is rise over run, so given (x,y) and (x2,y2), take the difference in the Ys and divide by the difference in the Xs

Answer 2

dk how to do that

Answer 3

difference is subtraction

Answer 4

7-5/2-(-3)

Answer 5

When did brackets no longer become important?

Answer 6

(7-5)/(2-(-3))

Answer 7

(7-5)/(2--3) OR (-5-7)/(-3-2)

Answer 8

2/5

Answer 9

you have two points (-3, 5) and (2, 7), these two points have two componets the x value and the y value which are separated by a comma: (x,y). You only have to know the distance between the first y component and the second y component this is by substraction or difference: 7-5 = 2, then the same with the x components: 2--3 = 5, finally you divide these values you got: 2/5
