Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,5) and (7,3)?
A. -5/2
B. -2/5
C. 8/9
D. 9/8

Answer 1

This is the formula for finding the slope of a line.
m is the variable used for the slope. Slope = (y2-y1)/x2-x1
(2,5)and (7,3)?

(2, 5) and (7,3)?
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
x1 = 2 and x2 = 7, y1 =5 and y2 = 3

Slope = (y2-y1)/x2-x1
= (3-5)/ (7-2)
Now we are going to have:
-2/5

Ans. -2 over 5
