 Question 197448: Find the slope of the line that passes through (-3,7) and (5,-5) thank youAnswer by jim_thompson5910(28595)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! First let's find the slope of the line through the points and Note: is the first point and is the second point . Start with the slope formula. Plug in , , , and Subtract from to get Subtract from to get Reduce So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is Now let's use the point slope formula: Start with the point slope formula Plug in , , and Rewrite as Distribute Multiply Add 7 to both sides. Combine like terms. So the equation that goes through the points and is
