Question

can you help me with number 10 it says find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points C(3,5) D(2, 6)

Answer 1

To find the slope

Points given are:

C(3,5) D(2, 6)

x₁ = 3 y₁ = 5 x₂ = 2 y₂ =6

Using the formula below :

$\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the values and evaluate

$\text{slope =}\frac{6-5}{2-3}$$=\frac{1}{-1}=-1$

Hence, the slope is -1
