Find the slope of a line that passes through (1,7) and (14,2)?

Answer 1

Ok I cant do the math for you cause that just wrong but you need to use the formula m= y1-y2/x2-x1 so you take the two y's and - them then the two x's and this will be your m which is slope.

Answer 2

The slope of a line is defined by the
change in Y divided by the change in X.
Assuming a point format of (x,y)
slope = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
= (7 - 2) / (1 - 14)
= 5 / (-13)
= -5/13
= -0.384615385

Answer 3

slope is equal to the rise (amount upwards) divided by the run (amount horizontally). The rise is equal to

y2-y1=2-7= -5

and the run is equal to

x2-x1=14-1= 13

therefore, the slope, m, is

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= -5/13= -.384615

Answer 4

dy = 2-7 = -5, dx = 14-1 = 13,
slope = -5/13

for the equation,
y = (-5/13)x + b
7 = (-5/13)(1) + b
91/13 + 5/13 = b
b = 96/13

y = (-5/13)x + 96/13

Answer 5

slope, commonly refered to as m, equals the rise over the run. with two points graphed, the rise and run can be seen as the difference in x's and y's. the rise is the difference in y's while the run is the difference in x's. so, the rise (difference in y's) (7-2), over the run (difference in x's) (1-14), is simplified as 5/-13 or -5/13.

Answer 6

Answer = -5/13

Answer 7

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2-7)/(14-1)=-5/13
