Question

Consider the two points A(9.7) and B(5,2).
What is the ratio of the vertical change from A to B to the horizontal change from A to B? In other words, what is the
slope?
What the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is $m=\frac{5}{4}$   or  $m=1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$A(9,7)\ B(5,2)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-7}{5-9}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-4}$

$m=\frac{5}{4}=1.25$
