What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,1) and (-2,5)? 4/5 -4/5 5/4 -5/4

This is quite simple,all you have to do is find the slope.What is the equation for it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All there was is just the question and the answers

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Each point you were given has an x-coordinate followed by a y-coordinate. First, choose one point to be the first point and the other point to be the second point. To find the slope, subtract the y-coordinates. Then subtract the x-coordinates in the same order you subtracted the y-coordinates. Then divide the first difference by the second one.

I couldn't view this for some reason, but now I can

@Insatiable You wrote "The equation for slope is (y1-y2/x1-x2) Substitute after labeling the coordinates -2=y1 3=y2 1=x1 5=x2 -2-3/1-5 5/-4 So it is the last choice " Pls check your work. You switched the x's with the y's in the fraction, so your answer is incorrect.
