Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(–5.5, 6.1), (–2.5, 3.1)

Answer 1

The answer would be -1. The slope formula is y^2-y^1 / x^2-x^1

Answer 2

The slope is
`m=-1`

Explanation:

we need to find the slope from the given pair of points.

Given points are
`(-5.5,6.1)` and
`(-2.5,3.1)`

Slope are calculate by two points
`(x_1,y_1) \text{and} (x_2,y_2)` as
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

since, points are
`(-5.5,6.1)` and
`(-2.5,3.1)`

`m=(3.1-6.1)/(-2.5-(-5.5))`

`m=(-3)/(3)`

`m=-1`

Therefore, the slope is
`m=-1`
