Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (1,5) and (3,2)?

Answer 1

The slope is -1.5

Answer 2

no @*shadow*

Answer 3

There's a 2 difference in the (x) coordinate 1 to 3.

There's a 3 difference in the (x) coordinate 5 to 2.

If you're looking to change 3 numbers in 2 numbers.. 3/2 = 1.5 and since the slope is negative = -1.5..

My logic.

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure, I'm right.

Answer 5

Not really the way to figure it out.. but it's my way :)

Answer 6

y = mx + b
slope = m
\[m = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]

Answer 7

Point1: (3,2)
Point2: (1,5)

\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-_x{1}}\]
\[m=\frac{ 2-5}{3-1 }\]
\[m=-1.5\]

Answer 8

@lozada796, the answer is -1.5...
