Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 2) and (­-3, ­-5)

-3
1
­-⅓
9/5

Answer 1

`\Large\textnormal{The slope is 1.}`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\displaystyle ((-5)-2)/((-3)-4)=(-7)/(-7)=1`

Therefore, the slope is 1, and the correct answer is 1.

Hope this helps!
