Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 1) and (-2, 5)?

A. - 5/4

B. 5/4

C. 4/5

D. - 4/5

Answer 1

The slope of this line would be D. -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can use the slope formula.

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

m = (5 - 1)/(-2 - 3)

m = 4/-5

m = -4/5
