What is the slope of the line that does through the point (2,-7) and (0,5).

Answer 1

given : 2 points

(X1,y1) =(2,-7)

( x2,y2) = (0,5)

Slope = ( y2-y1)/ ( x2-x1) = ( 5 - -7) / ( 0-2) = ( 5+7) / -2 =12/-2 =-6

Answer 2

The slope of a line can be found using the coordinates of any two points on the line. It is the difference of the y coordinates divided by the difference of the x coordinates of the two points:

slope = (y ₂ - y ₁₎

(x ₂ - x ₁)

For this problem:

slope = (-7 - 5) = -12 = -6

( 2 - 0) 2

The slope of the line will be -6

Answer 3

The slope of a line can be found using the coordinates of any two points on the line. It is the difference of the y coordinates divided by the difference of the x coordinates of the two points:

slope = (y ₂ - y ₁₎

(x ₂ - x ₁)

Fir this problem:

slope = (-7 - 5) = -12 = -6

( 2 - 0) 2

The slope of the line will be -6
