Question
Find the slope of the line passing through given points G(3, 7) and K(–2, –3).
Solution
Given points are G(3, 7) and K(–2, –3).
Let x1 = 3, x2 = – 2, y1 = 7, y2 = – 3
∴ Slope of line GK = `(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`
⇒ Slope of line GK = `(-3 - 7)/(-2 - 3)`
= `(-10)/(-5)`
= 2
As a result, the slope of the line GK is 2.
