Question

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MEDAL!!
What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?
5/4
-5/4
4/5
-4/5

Answer 1

\[slope = \frac{ rise }{ run } = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \]when given the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
so to find the slope between (1, 3) and (5, –2)
plug in x1=1 , y1=3 , x2=5 , y2=-2

Answer 2

tbh i dont understand ??

Answer 3

when you plug it all in you would get
\[\frac{ (-2)-(3) }{ (5)-(1) }\]

Answer 4

ok
