Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

Therefore the Slope of the line is

`Slope=-(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given:

Let,

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 1 , -5)

point B( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (-4 , -2)

To Find:

Slope of Line AB =?

Solution:

Slope of line between Two points is given as

`Slope(AB)=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Substituting the values we get

`Slope=(-2-(-5))/(-4-1)=(3)/(-5)`

Therefore the Slope of the line is

`Slope=-(3)/(5)`
