Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (-2, -13)?

Answer 1

The slope is 5

Explanation:

Δ means the change in

slope = m = Δy/Δx =
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` =
`(2-(-13))/(1-(-2))` = 15/3 = 5/1 = 5

Slope = 5

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points, we use the formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-13-2)/(-2 -1)

= -15/-3

=5
