Exercise 16 Page 91

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

5/2

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 Note that it does not matter which point we choose to use for ( x_1, y_1) and ( x_2, y_2), since the result of using the Slope Formula will be the same.

m=y_2- y_1/x_2- x_1
m=15- 5/7- 3
m=10/4
m=5/2

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is 52.
