Question

find the slope of the line containing the pair of points (0,-7) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

Use the point slope formula and also the gradient formula

y=mx+c

\[m=\frac{y-y}{x-x}\]

Answer 2

can you show me how i am not sure

Answer 3

(0,-7) and (1,-2)
\[
\frac { -2 -(-7)}{1-0}=?
\]

Answer 4

slope would be 5 then right?

Answer 5

yes, now you have a point (x,y) = (1, -2) and a slope (m)

plug it into this equation and find c.

y=mx+c

Answer 6

why would i do that i just needed to find the slope and the slope is 5 i just wanted someone to double check for me to make sure i am correct
