Question

algebra i with probability young ic qtr a continuous learning center - credit bearing (tutor) slope of a line finding the slope of a line given two points find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, - 5) and (7, 1). step 1: choose $(x_1,y_1)$. $x_1=square$, $y_1=square$

Explanation:

Step1: Define slope formula

The slope $m$ of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. We can choose $(x_1,y_1)=(2,-5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(7,1)$.

Step2: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{1-(-5)}{7 - 2}=\frac{1 + 5}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{6}{5}$
