the picture i have attached below is the point slope formula
(y₂ - y₁) = m(x₂ - x₁) Plug in the given to find the slope (m) y₂ = 7 y₁ = 10.5 x₂ = -9.5 x₁ = 6.5
(7 - 10.5) = m(-9.5 - 6.5) -3.5 = m(-16) Divide by -16 [tex] \frac{-3.5}{-16} = m( \frac{-16}{-16} )[/tex] -16 and -16 cancels out 0.21875 = m 0.22 = m slope is b. 022
