Question

question 1 of 10 what is the slope of the line shown below? (-2, -3) (3, 7) a. 5 b. -2 c. 2 d. -5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.

Step2: Identify the points

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-3)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,7)$.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{7-(-3)}{3 - (-2)}=\frac{7 + 3}{3+2}=\frac{10}{5}=2$.

Answer:

C. 2
