Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through a pair of points, (-5/3, -1) and (-2, 9/2)

A. 2/33
B. -2/33
C. -33/2
D. 33/2

Answer 1

\[\frac{ (-1)-(9/2) }{ (-5/3)-(-2) }\]
\[\frac{ (-1)-4.5 }{ (-5/3)+2 }\]
\[\frac{ -5.5 }{ (-5/3)+(6/3) }\]
\[\frac{ -5.5}{ (1/3) }\]
-16.5
now put that into a fraction
