Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (1,-5) and (4,1)?OA-4/3OB.-3/4Ос. 1/2OD. 2

Answer 1

We can calculate the slope using the next formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

where

(1,-5)=(x1,y1)

(4,1)=(x2,y2)

We substitute the values into the formula above

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

the slope of the line is m=2, the answer is D
