Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, 4) and (2, -3).
a 7
b 2/7
c -7/2
d 7/2

  C  -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Without much effort, you can tell that the y-value goes down (from 4 to -3) while the x-value goes up (from 0 to 2). This means the slope is negative. Only one answer choice is a negative value (and it happens to be the correct negative value).

  slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-3-4)/(2-0) = -7/2

the answer is 24

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
