What is the correct setup to finding the slope of a line that passes through the points (6,-3) and (-2,7)?

To find the slope of a line passing through two given points, we use the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1),

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Using the points (6, -3) and (-2, 7):

slope = (7 - (-3)) / (-2 - 6)
= (7 + 3) / (-2 - 6)
= 10 / (-8)
= -5/4.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (6, -3) and (-2, 7) is -5/4.
