Find the slope of these two points (3,5)and (-5,-2)
Is the slope 3?
2 answers
y2-y1/x2-x1= -2-3/-5-5= -5/-10= 1/2
No, the slope is not 3.
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
point 1:
x1 = 3, y1 = 5
point 2:
x2 = -5, y2 = -2
So...
(-2 - 5)/(-5 - 3)
=(-7)/(-8)
=7/8
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
point 1:
x1 = 3, y1 = 5
point 2:
x2 = -5, y2 = -2
So...
(-2 - 5)/(-5 - 3)
=(-7)/(-8)
=7/8
