Find the slope of the line passing through the points.

Question

1. (5,7), (-2,-3)

2. (6,3), (4,7)

..thanks

Answer 1

for number 1, I got "-10/-7"

and for number 2, "4/-2"

are these correct?

also, for number 2 [4,-2], I don't have to simplify, right?

thanks..

Answer 2

yes, but you should reduce both answers to lowest terms

1. slope = -10/-7 = 10/7

2. slope = 4/-2 = -2
