Question

Slope (-1,2) and (4,3). Express your answer in the form a/b (fraction notation).

a) 1/5

b) 1/3

c) 2/5

d) 2/3

Answer 1

The slope between the points (-1,2) and (4,3) is 1 / 5, expressing a change in the y-coordinate of 1 over a change in the x-coordinate of 5.

The correct option is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope (m) between two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2), you can use the formula:

m = {y_2 - y_1} / {x_2 - x_1}

Given the points -1, 2 and 4, 3, let's calculate the slope:

m = 3 - 2 / 4 - (-1)

m = 1 / 5

So, the correct answer is:

a) 1 / 5
