Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−1, 7) and (4, −1)? −5/62−8/5−2

Answer 1

Given the points:

(−1, 7) and (4, −1)

The slope of the line passing through the points is given by:

`slope=(rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-1-7)/(4-(-1))=(-8)/(5)`

So, the answer will be Slope = -8/5
