Using the slope formula for the points (1, 5) and (2, -2), what would the denominator be?

-2 - 5
-2 - 1
2 - 1
2 - 5

Respuesta :

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1, 5) to (2, -2), x increases by 1 and y decreases by 7.  The slope of the line connecting these two points has the slope m = rise / run = -7 / 1, or just -7.

Alternatively, using the slope formula,

        5-[-2]           7

m = ------------ = -------- = (-7/1).  The denominator would be 1.

         1 - 2            -1

Answer:

2-1
