Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points listed below.
(4,5) , (6,2)

Answer 1

-3/2.

Explanation:

Slope of a line joining the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) so here we have

Slope = (2 - 5)/(6 - 4)

= -3/2

Answer 2

-3/2

Explanation:

gradient= y2-y1 over x2-x1

2-5 over 6-4

which equals to -3 over 2
