Question

Find the slope of the containing (5,-2) and (-3,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x₁ = -3      x₂ = 5       y₁ = 4          y₂ = -2

The slope of a linear function is defined by:

• m = rise / run
•    = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

•    = (-2 - 4) / (5 - (-3))
•    = (-6) / (8)
•    = -3/4

Answer 2

Use the slope formula to find the slope m.


m=-3/4
