Question

A line contains points M(1, 3) and N(5, 0). What is the slope of MN?

A -4/3
B -3/4
C 3/4
D 4/3

Answer 1

For this case we have the following points:

M (1,3)

N (5.0)

The slope of the line is given by:

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Substituting values we have:

m = (0-3) / (5-1)

Rewriting we have:

m = -3 / 4

Answer:

The slope of the line is:

m = -3 / 4
