Question

What is the slope of points (3, 5) and (2, 7)

Answer 1

Answer: 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line when only given two points on that line, divide the difference in the y points by the difference in the x points.

Answer 2

There are two ways that you can do this.

First Method

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

7 is y2, 5 is y1, 2 is x2, and 3 is x1.

$\frac{7-5}{2-3} =\frac{2}{-1} =-2$

Therefore, the slope is -2. (aka "m = -2")

Second Method

Get a graph. Mark the two points on the graph and draw a line. After that, do the rise over run method. Go several units up and several units over. If the slope is going up to the left, then there is a negative slope. If the line is going up to the right, then there is a positive slope. (pictures of the graph down below)

I hope this helps! Let me know if I got something wrong.
