Find the slope of the line that passes through (95, 2) and (-2, 95). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Slope is -93/97

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope subtract the y's and put that answer in top of a fraction. Then subtract the x's and put that on the bottom of the fraction. If its a smaller number on top and bigger number on the bottom, that is a proper fraction. If the bigger number is on top then it is an improper fraction. If it divides evenly, then the answer will just be a whole number (what the questions calls an integer) All these answers can be positive or negative.

***BUT, you have to start the subtractions with the same point!!!

Let's start with (-2, 95) in front, for both subtractions. (But it could be either point, the answer comes out the same)

Subtract y's: 95-2 is 93.

Subtract x's: -2 - 95 is -97

The slope is 93/-97 it is a proper fraction.

We can put the negative sign in front instead of at the bottom, it looks better.(and is the same)

Slope is -93/97

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
