Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–1, 13) and (4, –2)?









A. -3










B. 3










C. -1/3










D. the slope is undefined

Answer 1

The slope (m) is the change in rise (y-values) over the change in run (x-values). So...

\[m=\frac{ 13-(-2) }{ -1-4}\]\[m=\frac{ 15 }{ -5 }\]\[m=-3\]

Answer is A.
