O c. 5
01 -

Answer 1

The slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3) is:

• Slope = m = 1 / 5

Explanation:

Given the points

• (-1, 2)

• (4, 3)

Finding the slope between (-1, 2) and (4, 3)

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:3\right)`

Using the formula

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [3 - 2] / [4 - (-1)]

= 1 / 5

Thus, the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3) is:

• Slope = m = 1 / 5
