A line passes through the points (3, 5) and (2, 0). What is the slope?

Answer :

Answer:

y= -4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is your y-intercept

The slope of the line which passes through the points (3,5) and (2,0) is 5

From the question,

We are to determine the slope of the line

The slope of a line with two given points can be determined from the formula

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Where m represents the slope

From the given information

x₁ = 3

y₁ = 5

x₂ = 2

y₂ = 0

Putting these into the formula,

We get

[tex]m = \frac{0-5}{2-3}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]m = \frac{-5}{-1}[/tex]

∴ m = 5

Hence, the slope of the line which passes through the points (3,5) and (2,0) is 5
