Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,5) and (0,-3)

Answer 1

slope = 2

Explanation:

use the formula to find the slope

`slope = (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

find all the points

(4,5)

`x_(1) =4, y_(1)=5`

(0,-3)

`x_(2)=0, y_(2)=-3`

plug it in

`(-3-5)/(0-4) =(-8)/(-4) =(8)/(4)=2`
