How do i find the slope of the line containing the pair of points (5,4) and (7,-10)slope m= what
If this is MATH, state that for School Subject. College doesn't state which volunteer teacher can help you.

y2-y1/x2-x1-----> -10-4/7-5
-14/2-----> -7 = m
To find the slope of a line containing two points, you can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's plug in the coordinates of the given points into the formula:
x1 = 5, y1 = 4
x2 = 7, y2 = -10
m = (-10 - 4) / (7 - 5)
Now we can perform the calculations:
m = (-14) / (2)
m = -7/1
m = -7
Therefore, the slope of the line containing the points (5,4) and (7,-10) is -7.
