Answer:
The slope is -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(3-5) / (7-2)
Answer:
Slope =[tex]\frac{-2}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of Line:
Slope of line is defined as Rise over Run of a line. Rise means the Distance covered in y axis and run means distance covered in x axis.
So in mathematical form slope can be defined as
Slope =[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
In our given ordered pairs
the first order pair is ( 2,5)
and second order pair is (7,3)
So from these ordered pairs
x1 =2
x2=7
y1=5
y2=3
So slope is given by the formula
Slope =[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Putting in the values
Slope =[tex]\frac{3-5}{7-2}[/tex]
Slope =[tex]\frac{-2}{5}[/tex]
So Slope of the given line is connecting these points is
Slope =[tex]\frac{-2}{5}[/tex]
