Question

P(-3,1),Q(5,-2)Find the slopes of the lines passing through the given points

Answer 1

Let the Point P(-3,1),Q(5,-2) be P(x₁,y₁) and Q(x₂,y₂) respectively. 

Using the Formula of the Slope, 

  $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
⇒ m = (-2 - 1)/(5 + 3)
⇒ m = -3/8
∴ m = -3/8


Hence, the Slope of the line Passing through the points P and Q is -3/8.


Hope it helps.

Answer 2

SOLUTION:-

GIVEN POINTS :- P(-3,1),Q(5,-2)
here,
$x _{1} = - 3 \\ x _{2} = 5 \\ y _{1} = 1 \\ y_{2} = - 2 \\ formul a \: of \: slope \\ m = \frac{y _{2} -y _{2}}{x _{2} - x _{1} } \\ m = \frac{ - 2 - 1}{5 + 3} \\ m = \frac{ - 3}{8}$
hence, the slopes of the lines passing through the given points = -3/8
