Should there be a picture?

OpenStudy (1dfanatic):

no, why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you will need graph paper

To find the slope you have to use this formula...\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

563blackghost (563blackghost):

y2 = -2 y1 = 7 x2= 5 x1 = 8

OpenStudy (1dfanatic):

i don't get it...

563blackghost (563blackghost):

ill input the numbers for u...\[\frac{ -2-7 }{ 5-8 }\] now all you need to do is simplify the fraction and you should get your answer...

OpenStudy (1dfanatic):

so would it be 3?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yup! so the slope of the two points is 3...
