A. -2
B. 5/4
C. - 4/5
D. 2

Answer 1

The slope should be 2

Answer 2

Hi there!

Explanation:

First, you had to use the slope formula to solve this slope is.

Slope formula: →
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)`

Then you can also use rise/run.

`(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(1-(-5)=1+5=6)/(4-1=3)=(6)/(3)=2`

Therefore, the slope is 2.

Answer is 2.

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
