Calculate the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 3) and (5,-3).

-6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line given two points on that line, you can use the slope formula: where you have points .  

When using that formula, do not put the subscripts when plugging in the answers.

Something that is equivalent to that formula and I think is easier to remember is:

Lining up the points and subtracting vertically and then putting 2nd difference over first difference.

Like this:

 (-2 ,  3)

- ( 5 , -3)

-------------

-7         6

So the slope is 6/-7 or -6/7.

It doesn't matter what order you do the points. You have done the (5,-3) on top instead.

Like this:

  ( 5, -3)

-  (-2,  3)

--------------

  7     -6

The slope is still -6/7.

If you don't like that and you do just directly like using that formula, then I will do it that way too.

So applying the formula either gives you: or .  Both will give us the same number.

the answer is 1030 it's very simple math.
