Answer:
The formula for the slope is:
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Assign each given point to a variable:
- (x₁, y₁) = (-3, 7)
- (x₂, y₂) = (5, 11)
Substitute in the values into the formula:
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{11-7}{5-(-3)}=\frac{4}{8} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope is 1/2.
