To find slope, you have to insert the points of the line into the equation y=y2-y1/x2-x1

Yes, you are correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the slope formula. \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) Plug in the points: \(m = \dfrac{5-1}{-2-3}\) Subtract and you get your answer.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

(3, 1) and (-2, 5) X1 Y1 X2 Y2 \[m=\frac{ 5-1 }{ -2-3 }\]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Now you subtract. 5-1 = 4 -2 - 3 = -5 So your slope is 4/-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(m = \dfrac{5-1}{-2-3}\) \(m = -\dfrac{4}{5}\) So your answer is correct.
