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

For slope you will use this formula
\[m = \frac{ y _{2 -}y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }=m\]

Answer 3

since (x1,y1)= (-2,1)
(x2,y2)= (1,6)
nowjust put these points in above formula and get your answer

Answer 4

the equation will be look like this
