Question

Find the slope that passes through rewrite ur answer in simplest form

Answer 1

The slope of a line that passes through two(2) points is given as:

$\text{Slope,m}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the given points:

$\begin{gathered} (-2,-5)\text{ and (5,0)} \\ x_1=-2,y_1=-5 \\ x_2=5,y_2=0 \end{gathered}$

Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{0-(-5)}{5-(-2)} \\ m=\frac{0+5}{5+2} \\ m=\frac{5}{7} \end{gathered}$
