Question

Calculate the slope (2,-5) and (4,3)

Answer 1

Given points are
`(x_1,y_1) = (2,-5) and (x_2,y_2) = (4,3)`

Now , using the formula of slope,m =
`y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1`

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

=> 8/2

=> 4

Hence the required slope of given two ordered pairs is 4

Answer 2

Slope = 4

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated using the following formula:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

From the question can put the points as:

(2, -5) as (x1, y1)

and

(4, 3) as (x2, y2)

Therefore, we can put in the values into the formula to solve for the slope.

`(3 - ( - 5))/(4 - 2) \\ = (3 + 5)/(2) \\ = (8)/(2) \\ = 4`
