Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two given points:

(-1, 4) and (5, 3)
A line starting in the third quadrant, crossed the x axis twice, and then ending in the first quadrant

Answer 1

`( - 1)/(6)`

Explanation:

`slope \: = (y2 - y2)/(x2 - x1) \\ slope = (3 - 4)/(5 - - 1) \\ sope = ( - 1)/( \: \: \: 6)`
