What is the slope of the line passing through the points (7,4) and (2, 10)?

the equation of a straight line is y = m x + b   where m is the slope and

b is the y intercept at x = 0

so y1 =  x1 + b   and y2 = m x2 + b    where (x1, y1) and (x2, 2 are points on the line.

y2 - y1 = m (x2 - x1)   or m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For the given points

m = ( 10 - 4)  /  (2 - 7) = - 6 / 5   for the slope

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
