what is the correct set up to finding the slop of a line that passes through the points (6,-3) and (-2,7)?
6-2/-3+7
6-(-3)/-2-7
7-(-3)/-2-6
7-3/-2-6
The correct setup to find the slope (m) of a line that passes through the points (6, -3) and (-2, 7) is:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the coordinates, we get:
m = (7 - (-3)) / (-2 - 6)
Simplifying further:
m = (7 + 3) / (-2 - 6)
m = 10 / (-8)
m = -5/4
