Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, –5) and (4, 1)?
A. 2
B.- 4/5
C. 5/4
D.-2

Answer 1

If two points are given,\(\large \bf (x_1,y_1)~and~(x_2,y_2)\),then to find the SLOPE of line passing through them is ;-
\[\large \bf Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 2

from this,can you solve your question ? @Archer3545

Answer 3

not really

Answer 4

plug in the values in the equation shown above

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

\[\large \bf Slope=\frac{1-(-5)}{4-1}=\frac{1+5}{3}=\frac{6}{3}=3\]

Here :-
\[\large \bf (x_1,y_1)=(1,-5)\]
\[\large \bf (x_2,y_2)=(4,1)\]
