Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through

(10, 1) and (5, 2)

a
1/5
b
-1/5
c
5
d
-5

Answer 1

-1/5

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line using two points, you have to use the slope formula:

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

10 is x1

1 is y1

5 is x2

2 is y2

`(2-1)/(5-10) =(1)/(-5) =-(1)/(5)`
