Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6)

1 answer

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6), we can use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

First, let's assign our coordinate points:
(x1, y1) = (-3, 7)
(x2, y2) = (2, -6)

Now we can plug in the values:
m = (-6 - 7) / (2 - (-3))
m = (-13) / (2 + 3)
m = -13 / 5

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6) is -13/5.
