Question

What is the slope between the points (–2, 1) and (2, 6)?

5/4


-4/5


4/5


-5/4

Answer 1

`\rn\hookrightarrow 5/4`

Explanation:

`Solution,\\\\Let,\\(x_1,y_1)=(-2,1)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(2,6)\\\\Now,\\\\\rn\hookrightarrow Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\rn\hookrightarrow Slope=(6-1)/(2-(-2)) \\\\\rn\hookrightarrow Slope=(5)/(4)`

Answer 2

To find the slope, we must know the equation

-->
`slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\\`

Now using the information given, (-2,1) and (2,6), let's plug that into the equation

-->
`slope = (6-1)/(2--2) = (5)/(4)`

In this case, the slope is 5/4

Hope that helped!
