Question 150952


{{{m=(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}} Start with the slope formula.



{{{m=(0-3)/(5-0)}}} Plug in {{{y[2]=0}}}, {{{y[1]=3}}}, {{{x[2]=5}}}, {{{x[1]=0}}}, , 



{{{m=(-3)/(5-0)}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from {{{0}}} to get {{{-3}}}



{{{m=(-3)/(5)}}} Subtract {{{0}}} from {{{5}}} to get {{{5}}}



So the slope of the line that goes through the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,3\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(5,0\right)] is {{{m=-3/5}}}
