- Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
Point (-3, 4)
Point (-5, 7)
Step 2: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{7- 4}{-5- -3}[/tex]
- [Fraction] Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{3}{-2}[/tex]
- Rewrite: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
