Given Coordinates: x1 = -3.5 y1 = 7, x2 = 2.5 y2 = 0
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3.5, 7) and (2.5, 0) is equal to –
Note: As a decimal number, –
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
0 − 7/2.5 − (-3.5)
m = 0 − 7/2.5 + 3.5
m = -7/6
m = – 7/6
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3.5, 7) and (2.5, 0) is equal to –
7/6
Note: As a decimal number, –
7/6
≈ -1.1666666666667
