Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 3) and (5, 2).51-1515-51

Answer 1

Given: The points below

`\begin{gathered} Point1:(0,3) \\ Point2:(5,2) \end{gathered}`

To Determine: The slope of the given points

Solution

The slope of two points can be determine using the formula below

`\begin{gathered} Point1:(x_1,y_1) \\ Point2:(x_2,y_2) \\ Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \end{gathered}`

Substitute the given points into the formula

`slope=(2-3)/(5-0)=-(1)/(5)`

Hence, the slope of given line is -1/5
