Answer:

The slope is
(3)/(5)

The distance between the two points is
√(13) or 5.83 rounded to two places.

Explanation:

Slope:

Change in y over the change in x. You find the change by subtraction.

Thy y values are 2 and 5 form the points (4,5) and (-1,2).

The x values are -1 and 4 form the points (4,5) and (-1,2)


(2-5)/(-1-4) =
(-3)/(-5) =
(3)/(5)

The slope is
(3)/(5).
