Given:
(2, -2)
(5, 7)
x1 = 2
x2 = 5
y1= -2
y2 = 7
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (7 - (-2))/(5 - 2)
m = (7 + 2)/3
m = 9/3
m = 3
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 3
