Question

Find the slope of line passes through (2,-5) and the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p(7,-4) and (5,0).​

Answer 1

Answer:

|The coordinates of the mid-point of the

line segment joining the points P (0,-4)

and B (8, 0) are:

(0+8)/2,(4+0)/2] = (4, 2)

It is known that the slope (m) of a non-

vertical line passing through the points

(x1, y1) and (x2,

y2) is given by the formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x2 is not

equal to x1)

Therefore, the slope of the line passing

through the points (0, 0,) and (4,-2) is

m= (-2-0)/(4-0)

m=-2/4

m=-%

Hence, the required slope of the

line is -1/2
