Answer:

The slope is 2

The Slope formula is y2-y1/x2-y1.

Vas Happenin!
Hope your day is going well
Slope form is y2-y1/x2-x1
Y2= 1
Y1 = -5
X2= 4
X1 = 1
Then you plug them into the equation it should look like this
1 - -5/ 4-1
Then you subtract them
6/3
Then you divide
Your slope is 2 m=2
Hope this helps *smiles*
