Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (4, 3) and (5, -1).

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is m= -2/5

Explanation:

-In order to find the slope, you need the slope formula:

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

-Place the two points onto that equation:

`m=(5-3)/(-1-4)`

_Then, solve the equation:

`m=(5-3)/(-1-4)`

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

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