Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 5) and (0, 1)?

Answer 1

slope = 1

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 1 )

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

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

Hi there!

`slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` where the two given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the given points (4,5) and (0,1)

`=(5-1)/(4-0)\\=(4)/(4)\\= 1`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1.

I hope this helps!
