Question

Wm =y2-yiX2-X1Find the slope of the line that passesthrough these two points.(2,5) (3,-3)m = [?]=

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we have to substitute the given points in the given formula for the slope (m).

In this case,

$\begin{gathered} y_1=5, \\ y_2=-3, \\ x_1=2, \\ x_2=3. \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$m=\frac{5-(-3)}{2-3}\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$m=\frac{5+3}{-1}=\frac{8}{-1}=-8.$

Answer:

$m=-8.$
