Question

A line contains points M(1, 3) and N(5, 0). What is the slope of MN?A -4/3 B -3/4C 3/4D 4/3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ = ) = M (1, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = N (5, 0 )

m =
`(0-3)/(5-1)` =
`(-3)/(4)` = -
`(3)/(4)`

Answer 2

The slope calculated with points M(1, 3) and N(5, 0) is:
