  • color(green)(Slope= (Rise)/(Run)

The Rise is the Difference of the Y coordinates of any two points on the line
And the Run is the Difference of the X coordinates of those two points

  • If the coordinates of the points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), then #Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
    Here, the coordinates are (-2,3) and (3,2)

Slope = (2-3)/(3-(-2))=(-1)/5=-1/5

The slope of the line passing through points (-2,3) and (3,2) is color(green)(-1/5

  • The graph of the line passing through (-2,3) and (3,2) will look like this:

graph{y=(-x/5)+(13/5) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
