Algebra I

  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, 6)

Point (5, 5)

Step 2: Identify

x₁ = -2, y₁ = 6

x₂ = 5, y₂ = 5

Step 3: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                                 [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{5-6}{5+2}[/tex]
  2. [Slope] [Fraction] Subtract/Add:                                                                      [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-1}{7}[/tex]
