What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, – 5) and (4, 2) ?
enter your answer in the box.

m=7/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the equation:

     y₂-y₁

m=

     x₂-x₁

The coordinates (0,-5) are the first pair, so:

0=x₁

-5=y₁

The coordinates (4,2) are the second pair, so:

4=x₂

2=y₂

Substitute those in, and you get:

     2-(-5)

m=

       4-0

Simplify and solve:

     2+5     7

m= = or 1.75

       4        4

the answer is a. q=6,r=6√2
