Question

Find the slope of the line in simplest form

Answer 1

it should be 5/4 i could be wrong tho

Answer 2

`\boxed{\sf \sf Slope(m)=-\cfrac{5}{4}}`

Explanation:

To find the slope between two points we'll use the slope formula:-

`\boxed{\bf \mathrm{Slope}=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}`

Given points:-

• (-3, 1)
• (1, -4)

`\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:1\right)`

`\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:-4\right)`

`\sf m=\cfrac{-4-1}{1-\left(-3\right)}`

`\sf m=-\cfrac{5}{4}`

Therefore, the slope of the line is -5/4!
