Answer:
Slope of the line = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.
(5.3, –2.5), (7.3, –12.5)
slope of the line formula is
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
(5.3, –2.5) is (1,y1) and (7.3, –12.5) is (x2,y2)
Plug in all the values in the formula
[tex]\frac{-12.5 +2.5}{7.3-5.3}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5[/tex]
Slope of the line = -5
