Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3, –4), and (5, –7)?

2/3
-2/3
-3/2
3/2

I couldn't understand how to work this question out. @LogicalApple

Answer 1

Set it up the same way as before. (x1, y1) = (3, -4) (x2, y2) = (5, -7)

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Answer 2

But this time the only answers are fractions, and when i did it i got -1.5

Answer 3

-1.5 is right :) But what is -1.5 as a fraction?

Answer 4

-2/3?

Answer 5

No wait, 3/2

Answer 6

-3/2* -1 1/2

Answer 7

-1.5 = -1 and 1/2. I know you are close

Answer 8

You have to use the slope equation
