Question

Medal for help please :)
What is the slope that passes through the points
(-2,5) and (1,4)?
a. -3
b.-2
c. - 1/3
d. 1/3

Answer 1

The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.

Answer 2

(x1,y1)=(-2,5)
(x2,y2)=(1,4)

Answer 3

it is c ?

Answer 4

use the 2 point slope formula
m=(x_2-x_1)/(y_2-y_1)

Answer 5

yes, c is correct :)

Ty @Hartnn it took me a few minutes but I got it :) TY everybody also
