Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2),
(0, 5). Show work

Answer 1

To find the slope:

⇒ must know the slope's formula

⇒
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

⇒
`(x_(1) ,y_(1) )` and
`(x_(2) ,y_(2) )` are any points on the line

⇒ we use (-1,2) and (0,5) since they are the only points that we

know that are on the line

• 
  `(x_(1) ,y_(1) )`: (-1,2)
• 
  `(x_(2) ,y_(2)`): (0,5)

Let's solve:

`Slope = (5-2)/(0--1) =(3)/(1)`

Slope is 3
