How do you find the slope given (-5, -3) and (1, 4)?

Answer 1

#"slope "=7/6#

Find the slope using the #color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))# where m represents the slope and # (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" 2 coordinate points"#

Here, there are two points: (-5, -3) and (1, 4).

let # (x_1,y_1)=(-5,-3)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(1,4)#

#rArrm=(4-(-3))/(1-(-5))=7/6#

To find the slope given two points, you can use the formula:

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Given points: (-5, -3) and (1, 4) Substituting the coordinates into the formula: Slope = (4 - (-3)) / (1 - (-5))

Slope = (4 + 3) / (1 + 5) Slope = 7 / 6

So, the slope is 7/6.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
