Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (2, -6) and (-3, 1)?

A.-7/5
B.-1
C.-5/7
D.1

Answer 1

A

Answer 2

(-6-1)/(2--3)

Answer 3

Your Point 1 is (x1, y1) = (2, -6).
Your Point 2 is (x2, y2) = (-3,1).
A slope is "rise over run" or rise (y) divided by run (x).
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
And if you fill in the appropriate numbers you get what extremity has.
