Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points.


( -5, 5) and ( 9, 7)

For given points P1(-5,5) and P2(9,7),

the line passing through the two given points is given by:
L:(y-y1)/(y2-y1)=(x-x1)/(x2-x1)
where
(x1,y1)=(-5,5), and
(x2,y2)=(9,7)
So
L:(y-5)/(7-5)=(x-(-5))/(9-(-5))
Simplify to get the final equation.

if you did y3-y8-y5 you have to divide it so that what do you you have to do

To find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points (-5, 5) and (9, 7), you can use the formula for slope:

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

Let's assign the coordinates of the first point to (x1, y1) and the coordinates of the second point to (x2, y2). In this case, (x1, y1) = (-5, 5) and (x2, y2) = (9, 7).

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

m = (7 - 5) / (9 - (-5))

Next, we simplify the equation:

m = 2 / (9 + 5)
m = 2 / 14
m = 1 / 7

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 5) and (9, 7) is 1/7.
