Respuesta :

the formula you use in order to find the slope would be= y2-y1/x2-x1

first step:2-(-5)/4-0 

second step: 2-(-5)=7 

third step:4-0=4

fourth step: 7/4

Answer:

Slope of the line passing through the points (0, −5) and (4, 2) is [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope is given by

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

As given

The line passing through the points (0, −5) and (4, 2).

[tex]m=\frac{2-(-5)}{4-0}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{2+5}{4-0}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Therefore  slope of the line passing through the points (0, −5) and (4, 2) is [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] .
