Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points.
(1,9) and (4,5)

Answer 1

M = 1.333333....

Explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

5 - 9 / 4 - 1

-4 / 3

M = -1 1/3

Answer 2

We can use the slope formula

y2-y1/x2-x1

Now we can use this with any 2 known points to determine slope

9-5=4

4-1=3

4/3 slope
