Question

The formula y-y1 = m(x-x1) is the point-slope form of the equation of a lie where m is the slope of the line and (x,y) and (x1,y1)are points of the line. Solve the equation for m, and find slope of a line that includes the points (4,-2) and (5,0)

Answer 1

m=2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Y - y1 = m(X - X1)

m = Y - y1/X - x1

m = -2 - 0/4 - 5

m = -2/-1

m = 2.

The slope of the line is a positive one, where m = 2.
