Question

Find the slope of the line which passes through the points A (-4, 2) and B (1,5).

Answer 1

slope =
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m =
`(5-2)/(1-(-4))` =
`(3)/(1+4)` =
`(3)/(5)`

Answer 2

3/5 so A.
