Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through points

(2,6) and (3,5)

A. 11/6
B. 1
C.-1
D. 11/5

Answer 1

Slope Formula

`( y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`
Points: (2,6) (3,5)


`(5 - 6)/(3 - 2) = - (1)/(1) = -1`

ANSWER: The Slope is Negative 1

Answer 2

To find slope with 2 points the equation is y2-y1 over x2-x1

If we plug this in we get 5-6 over 3-2

simplify and you get -1/1

simplify again and get -1

The answer is C. -1
