Q. What is the slope of the line through (2,2)(2,-2) and (9,3)(9,3)? \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 57\frac{5}{7}\newline(B) 57-\frac{5}{7}\newline(C) 75\frac{7}{5}\newline(D) 75-\frac{7}{5}
  1. Identify the slope formula: Identify the slope formula.\newlineThe slope of a line through two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by the formula:\newlineSlope = y2y1x2x1\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  2. Substitute the given points: Substitute the given points into the slope formula.\newlineWe have the points (2,2)(2, -2) and (9,3)(9, 3), so x1=2x_1 = 2, y1=2y_1 = -2, x2=9x_2 = 9, and y2=3y_2 = 3.\newlineSlope = 3(2)92\frac{3 - (-2)}{9 - 2}
  3. Calculate the change in y: Calculate the change in y (y2y1)(y_2 - y_1).\newlineChange in y = 3(2)=3+2=53 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5
  4. Calculate the change in x: Calculate the change in x x2x1x_2 - x_1.\newlineChange in x = 92=79 - 2 = 7
  5. Calculate the slope: Calculate the slope using the changes in y and x.\newlineSlope = Change in yChange in x=57 \frac{\text{Change in } y}{\text{Change in } x} = \frac{5}{7}
  6. Match the calculated slope: Match the calculated slope to the correct answer choice.\newlineThe calculated slope is 57\frac{5}{7}, which corresponds to answer choice (A).
