Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (-1,5). Enter + or - m = [?]

Answer 1

The given coordinates are (2,3) and (-1,5).

The value of slope can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} m=(5-3)/(-1-2) \\ =(2)/(-3) \\ =-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required value of slope is -2/3.
