Question

what is the slope between the two points (5, 1) and (4, 6)?

Answer 1

Well, we have to consider the definition of slope here

Answer 2

would it be -5 or -1/5

Answer 3

Slope formula =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 4

slope is rise/run

Answer 5

\(\large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 6

So, in this case we want to subtract y1 from y2 (6-1) and x1 from x2 (4-5)

Answer 7

so the answer is -5

Answer 8

Then divide the change in Y by change in X

Answer 9

Yes! You are correct

Answer 10

thank you

Answer 11

answer is 1/5

Answer 12

right?

Answer 13

Well, we have y2-y1, which is 6-1, or 5

Answer 14

Therefore, change in Y= 5 (the rise, if you will)

Answer 15

Now, x2-x1= 4-5, or -1 (the run)

Answer 16

Rise over run then becomes 5/-1, or -5

Answer 17

The answer is -5

Answer 18

oh negative 1 thx

Answer 19

If you make a graph, this makes even more sense, as a slope of -5 is much more intense then a slope of -1/5, and the slope between the two points is rather steep
