Find the slope of the line through the points (5,2) and (-2,3). show all steps

To find the slope of a line that passes through two points, the formula is

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

So, what you do is take the y coordinate in your first point, which in this case is 2, and subtract it from your y coordinate in the second point, which is 3.

3 - 2 = 1
1 / x2 - x1

Now take the x coordinate in your first point, which in this case is 5, and subtract it from the x coordinate in your second point, which is -2.

-2 - 5 = -7

Now you're left with 1 / -7.
1 / -7 = ~-0.14

So the slope is ~-0.14
Hope this helps!!

Letter b sorry i’m i’m wrong xx
