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
Thanks :D

Answer 1

slope formula\[=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

Answer 2

\[Let~say(1,-5)=(x_1,y_1)\]\[Let~say(4,1)=(x_2,y_2)\]substitute this value into the formula to find the slope

Answer 3

\[=\frac{ 1-(-5) }{ 4-1 }\]

Answer 4

\[=\frac{ 1+5 }{ 4-1 }\]\[=\frac{ 6 }{ 3 }\]simplify it @Xsciencegirlx
