Question

A(2,-5) B(-3,7)
X1 y1 X2 y2
= y2 - y1
——————
X2 - x1
Does that equal the slope to 12
——
5

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,-5) ...x1 = 2 and y1 = -5

(-3,7)...x2 = -3 and y2 = 7

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

         = (7 - (-5) / (-3 - 2)

         = (7 + 5) / -5

         = -12/5 <==== slope is -12/5
