Question

Find the slope of the lines passing through the given point.

C (5, –2) , D (7, 3)

Answer 1

Let, x₁ = 5, y₁ = - 2, x₂ = 7, y₂ = 3

∴ Slope of line CD = `(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

∴ Slope of line CD = `[3 - (- 2)]/[7 - 5]`

∴ Slope of line CD = `[3 + 2]/[7 - 5]`

∴ Slope of line CD = `5/2`
