Question

What is the slope of the line passing through he points ( 4, 3 ) and (1,-2 )?

Answer 1

`1(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the change in a line, or the,
`(rise)/(run)` in a line. One can find the slope of a line using the formula,

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

Substitute in the known points and solve,

`(4, 3), (1, -2)`

`((-2)-(3))/((1)-(4))\\`

Simplify,

`(-5)/(-3)`

`(5)/(3)\\\\1(2)/(3)`
