what is the slope of (7,9.5) (2,7)

Answer :

Answer: m=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the slope between your two points.

(7,9.5);(2,7)

(x1,y1)=(7,9.5)

(x2,y2)=(2,7)

Use the slope formula:

m=Let's find the slope between your two points.

(7,9.5);(2,7)

(x1,y1)=(7,9.5)

(x2,y2)=(2,7)

Use the slope formula:

y2−y1/y2−y1

7−9.5/2-7

2.5/-5  m=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (7, 9.5)

Point (2, 7)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                            [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{7-9.5}{2-7}[/tex]
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                         [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-2.5}{-5}[/tex]
  3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                             [tex]\displaystyle m=0.5[/tex]
