Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2 5) and (1 4)

Answer 1

Use the slope formula
\[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]
Plug in the numbers given in the coordinates like this:
\[\LARGE \frac{4-5}{1--2}=slope\]
two negative signs next to each other make a positive so..
\[\LARGE \frac{4-5}{1+2}=slope\]
Do the math and you have your answer :-)
