Question

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

Answer 1

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m= (3-5)/(-2+7) = -2/5

Answer 2

\[\approx-.4\]

Answer 3

pak... learn the formula or how to find rise over run

for 2 points

\[(x _{1}, y _{1}) (x _{2}, y _{2})\]

the gradient(slope) is found by

\[m = rise/run\]

which is

\[m = (y _{2} - y _{1})/(x _{2} - x _{1})\]
