If a line intersects both points (2, 2) and (6, 7), determine its slope.
The formula for finding the slope of a line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line.
To find the slope of a line passing through two given points, simply substitute the coordinates of the points into the slope formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
The slope of a line tells us the steepness or incline of the line. It also indicates whether the line is increasing or decreasing.
A line is intersecting if it crosses or touches another line at a specific point. In this case, the line is intersecting at point (2,2) and (6,7).
Yes, the slope of a line can be negative. This indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right. In this case, the slope of the line passing through (2,2) and (6,7) is (7-2)/(6-2) = 5/4, which is a positive slope.
