Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–2, 1) and (1, 6)?

A. -5



B.3/5



C.5/3




D. -7

Answer 1

the slope of the line that passes through the points \((x_0,y_0)\) and \((x_1, y_1)\) is given by \(m=\frac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}\)

Answer 2

Ok let me plug in the numbers like that brb

Answer 3

@zzr0ck3r I keep getting 0.6, am I doing something wrong? :/

Answer 4

@dumbcow

Answer 5

@IMStuck can you help?

Answer 6

\(\frac{6-1}{1-(-2)}=\frac{?}{?}\)

Answer 7

6-1 = 5 and 1- (-2) =3

Answer 8

formula is\[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2} -x _{1}}\]Let's fill in your values.

Answer 9

right 5/3

Answer 10

Ok that makes sense

Answer 11

\[\frac{ 6-1 }{ 1-(-2) }=\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\]That's the slope. 5/3
