Answer:
Slope is 5/17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the y's and put on top of a fraction. Subtract the x's and put on the bottom of the fraction. Simplify. Be sure to start with the x and y that go together in front of the minus sign and end with the other x and y behind the minus sign.
7 - 2 put 5 on top.
11 - -6 is 17 (because 11 - -6 is the same as 11+6)
So you get 5/17 and it cannot be simplified so it is your answer.
Answer:
- 5/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
- m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
We have two points:
- (x₁, y₁) = (11, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 6, 2)
Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:
- m = (2 - 7)/(-6 - 11) = - 5 / - 17 = 5/17
