Q. What is the slope of the line through (4,2) (-4,2) and (3,3) (3,-3) ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 75 \frac{7}{5} \newline(B) 57 -\frac{5}{7} \newline(C) 57 \frac{5}{7} \newline(D) 75 -\frac{7}{5}
  1. Identify slope formula: Identify the slope formula.\newlineThe slope of a line is calculated by the difference in the yy-coordinates divided by the difference in the xx-coordinates of two points on the line.\newlineSlope formula: (y2y1)/(x2x1)(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
  2. Substitute given points: Substitute the given points into the slope formula.\newlineWe have the points (4,2)(-4, 2) and (3,3)(3, -3). Let's denote (4,2)(-4, 2) as (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (3,3)(3, -3) as (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2).\newlineSlope: 323(4)\frac{-3 - 2}{3 - (-4)}
  3. Calculate change in y: Calculate the change in y y2y1y_2 - y_1.32-3 - 2 equals 5-5.
  4. Calculate change in x: Calculate the change in xx (x2x1x_2 - x_1).\newline3(4)3 - (-4) equals 77.
  5. Calculate slope: Calculate the slope using the changes in yy and xx.Slope=57\text{Slope} = \frac{-5}{7}
  6. Simplify slope: Simplify the slope if necessary.\newlineThe slope 57-\frac{5}{7} is already in simplest form and matches one of the given answer choices.
