What is the slope of a line through
(-5,2) and (6,7) in the standard(x,y) coordinate plane?
Sorry, I forgot the choices
F.9
G.5
H.-5
J. 5/11
K. -5/11
The main reason i can't figure this out is because I can't remember the slope formula. I need the slope formula but i also need to figure out the answer to this problem.
the formula for the slope is x2-x1 divided by y2-y1
algebra 2 is hardddd..

To find the slope of a line passing through the points (-5, 2) and (6, 7), you can use the slope formula. The formula for slope is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
In this case, (x1, y1) = (-5, 2) and (x2, y2) = (6, 7).
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Slope = (7 - 2) / (6 - (-5))
Slope = 5 / 11
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-5, 2) and (6, 7) is 5/11.
So the answer is J. 5/11.
No problem! I'll help you out. To find the slope of a line using the coordinates of two points, you can use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the coordinates given are (-5,2) and (6,7).
Let's substitute these values into the formula:
slope = (7 - 2) / (6 - (-5))
Simplifying:
slope = 5 / 11
So, the slope of the line passing through (-5,2) and (6,7) is 5/11.
Now, let's match the answer to the given choices. The correct answer is J. 5/11.
The slope formula is
y2-y1
