Question

Given the points (5,6) and (1,-5) find the slope of the line. Round answer to two places

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 2.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (5, 6) and (1, -5), the slope is given by the formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ \text{where:} \\ x_1=5 \\ y_1=6 \\ x_2=1 \\ y_2-5 \end{gathered}`

Using these, we have:

`m=(-5-6)/(1-5)=(-11)/(-4)=(11)/(4)=2.75`
