How do you determine the slope of #(2,7)# and #(7,2)#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Rachel Apr 1, 2018 We use the slope formula, which saws we divide #y_2 - y_1# by #x_2 - x_1#, or the second coordinate pair minus the first one #(2 ,7)# and #(7,2)# #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# #(2-7)/(7-2)# #(-5)/(5)# #-1# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
