Question

What is the slope of the line that connects the two points (-1,5) and (2,4)

Answer 1

Answer:
`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

The equation used to find the slope of the line with two give points and is:

`m=(Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)`

If the points are and

, we only have to substitute them in the equation:

`m=(4 - 5)/(2 - (-1))`

`m=(-1)/(2+1)`

Hence, the slope is:

`m=-(1)/(3)`
