Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the following points:

(1,2) and (3,1)

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

`SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

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

Slope is -1/2.

Final answer is -1/2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

The slope is
2-1
m = rise / run = ------- = -1/2
1-3
