Find the slope of the line
(-2,3) and (5, -2)
a. 1/7
b. -1/7
c. -7
d. 7
(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = (-2 -3)/(5 + 2)
= -5/7
I think you have a sign typo
That's why I can't find the answer!!! You have no idea how long I have been working on this!! I will have to contact my school and tell them they made a typo on the test because I posted this word for word...thanks for helping
To find the slope of a line, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Given the two points (-2,3) and (5,-2), we can determine the change in y and change in x.
Change in y = y2 - y1 = -2 - 3 = -5
Change in x = x2 - x1 = 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = 7
Now, we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (-5) / 7 = -5/7
Therefore, the correct answer is b. -1/7.
