Line straight ell is graphed in the xy-plane below.
If line straight ell is translated up 5 units and right 7 units, then what is the slope of the new line?
Select the Correct Answer:
-2/5
-3/2
-8/9
-11/14
Correct Choice:
-3/2
Choice B is correct. The slope of a line can be determined by finding the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates for any two points on the line. Using the points indicated, the slope is -3/2
