Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{\frac{1}{1}\,\text{or}\,1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we're trying to find the slope with the given points.
To find the slope, we're going to need to sue the slope formula.
Slope formula:
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
You would plug in the coordinates to its right spot.
Plug in -2 to x1, 3 in y1, 2 in x2, and 7 in y2.
Your equation should look like this:
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{7-3}{2-(-2)}[/tex]
Now, you will solve:
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{7-3}{2-(-2)}\\\\\text{Slope}=\frac{4}{2-(-2)}\\\\\text{Carry the minus sign over to the -2, turning it to a positive 2}\\\\\text{Slope}=\frac{4}{2+2}\\\\\text{Slope}=\frac{4}{4}\\\\\text{Divide}\\\\\text{Slope}=\frac{1}{1}=1[/tex]
When you're done solving, you should get 1.
This means that the slope of the line is 1/1 or 1
Finding the slope using two points:
The formula for slope is
[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
In this case...
[tex]y_{2} =7\\y_{1} =3\\x_{2} =2\\x_{1} =-2[/tex]
^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...
[tex]\frac{7-3}{2 - (-2)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex]
^^^This can be further simplified down to...
1
^^^This is your slope
