Let's denote the first point (5,3) as . In other words, and

Now let's denote the second point (-2,-3) as . In other words, and

-------------------------

Start with the slope formula

Plug in ,,,

Subtract the terms in the numerator to get . Subtract the terms in the denominator to get

Reduce

Answer:

So the slope of the line through the points (5,3) and (-2,-3) is

Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-3-3)/(-2-5)=-6/-7=6/7 is the slope.
3=5*6/7+b
3=30/7+b
b=3-30/7
b=(21-30)/7
b=-9/7 the y intercept.
thus this line equation is:
Y=6X/7-9/7
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, 6x/7 -9/7).
