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

please help !

Answer 1

(y-y1)*(x2-x1)=(x-x1)*(y2-y1)
here (x1,y1),(x2,y2) are given points
then write them in the form of y=mx+c
slope is m

Answer 2

or formula slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

use the slope formula

\[\Large m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\]

Answer 4

In this case

(x1,y1) = (2, -6)

(x2,y2) = (-3, 1)

Answer 5

alright , thank you ! :)
