The slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. The change in y is 1-7 = -6, and the change in x is 5-2 = 3, so the slope is

-6/3

= -2.

If you plot the two points, you will see that the line slopes downwards as x increases, thus giving it the negative value. Hope this helps, Twiggy.

Hi Carlos, for your problem there’s a simple formula which is this :

m(slope) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Here y2=7, y1=1, x2=2, x1=5.

Therefore, slope, m = (7-1)/(2-5) = 6/(-3)

m = (-2)

Hope it helps. Bye!
