use the slope formula
y2-y1
m= _______
x2-x1
so m= 5-7
___
6-5
-2
__
1
slope is -2
now for the other one
90-50
m=_________
60-20
m=40
____
40
m=1
so slope= 1
Hope that helps!

they are two dimensional coordinates
let us take x1=5
let us take x2=6 and likewise
let us take y1=7
let us take y2=5
to find the slope we have a formula ie..(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so it will be (5-7)/(6-5)=-2
-2 is the slope for the first set of co-ordinates

slope = (Y2-Y1) / (X2-X1)
slope = (5-7)/ (6-5)
slope = (-2)/ (1)
slope = -2
slope = (90 -50)/ (60 -20)
slope = (40) / (40)
slope = 1

(5,7) and (6,5) = -2/1
(20,50) and (60,90) = 1/1

(5-7)/(6-5)=-2/1
slope=-2
P.S. I'm in an advanced math class for algebra/Trig.

ok the formula is x2-x1/y2-y1 you just do that formula and you should get the correct answer
