Question

The endpoints of the line are (0, 5) and (6, 4). Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Given the endpoints of the line;

`(0,5),(6,4)`

The slope, m of the line is;

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ \text{ Where }x_1=0,y_1=5,x_2=6,y_2=4 \end{gathered}`

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} m=(4-5)/(6-6) \\ \\ m=-(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

CORRECT ANSWER:

`-(1)/(6)`
