What is the correct set up to finding the slope of a line that passes through the points (6,-3) and (-2,7)?
7-3/-2-6
6-2/-3+7
6-(-3)/-2-7
7-(-3)/-2-6
The correct set up to find the slope of a line passing through the points (6, -3) and (-2, 7) is:
(slope) = (change in y)/(change in x)
To find the change in y, subtract the y-coordinates of the two points:
change in y = 7 - (-3) = 10
To find the change in x, subtract the x-coordinates of the two points:
change in x = -2 - 6 = -8
Therefore, the correct set up to find the slope is:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = 10/(-8) = -5/4
