Question
Compute the slope of the line passing through the two given points. In Exercise 3, include a sketch with your answers.(a) $(-3,2),(1,-6)$(b) $(2,-5),(4,1)$(c) $(-2,7),(1,0)$(d) $(4,5),(5,8)$
Step 1
Step 2 (a): Substitute the given points $(-3,2)$ and $(1,-6)$ into the formula. We get $m = \frac{-6 - 2}{1 - (-3)} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2$. Step 3 (b): Substitute the given points $(2,-5)$ and $(4,1)$ into the formula. We get $m = \frac{1 - (-5)}{4 - 2} = Show more…
