Question

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (−2,4) and (5,−1)?

Answer 1

slope = -5/7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Slope (m) = -5/7

Explanation:

Given: Points (-2, 4) and (5, -1)

Here we have to use formula to find the slope.

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Here x1 = -2, y1 = 4, x2 = 5 and y2 = -1

Plug in the given values into the formula, we get

Slope = (-1 - 4)/(5 -(-2))

= -5/(5 +2)

= -5/7

Slope (m) = -5/7

Thank you.
