Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (-1, -4)? show your work

Answer 1

m = 3

Explanation:

Use slope formula

m =
`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

-4-5/-1-2 = 3

Answer 2

We can solve this question using the slope equation which is y2-y1/x2-x1

If you use that formula and sub in the coordinates

-4 - 5 / -1-2

-9/-3

= 3

The slope should be 3/1
