Question

find the slope of the line joining the points(-1/3,1/2)and (2/7,3/7)

$Y2 - Y1 \div X2 - X1 \ \textless \ br /\ \textgreater$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\frac{3}{26} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, first you have to use the slope formula of y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁=rise/run.  Slope between the two points.

Given:

m: represents the slope

b: represents the constant.

$\large\boxed{\textnormal{Slope formula}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

y₂= 3/7

y₁=1/2

x₂=2/7

x₁=(-1/3)

Solution:

Solve.

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{3}{7}-\frac{1}{2}  }{\frac{2}{7}-(-\frac{1}{3})  } = \boxed{m=-\frac{3}{26} }$

Therefore, the correct answer is m=-3/26.
