Question

What is the slope of the line (2,3) (1,-2)?

Answer 1

M = 5X

Explanation:

use the slope of a line equation

`m \: = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

so plug in your x and y's

`m = ( - 2 - 3)/(1 - 2)`

m = 5x

remember negative devided by negative is a positive. also dont forget to add your x at the end.

Answer 2

Answer: The slope is 5

Explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with this fomula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Given the points (2,3) and (1,-2), you can identify that:

`y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\x_2=1\\x_1=2`

Now, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, getting that the slope of this line is:

`m=(-2-3)/(1-2)`

`m=(-5)/(-1)\\\\m=5`
