Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3)? A. 5 B. 1/5 C. -1/5 D. -5

Answer 1

B. 1/5

Explanation:

The slope can be found through two points.

m = rise/run

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

m = (3 - 2)/(4 - (- 1))

m = 1/(4+1)

m = 1/5

Th slope of the line going through the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3) is 1/5.

Answer 2

1/5

Explanation:

We can find the slope of a line using two points by

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

= (3-2)/(4 - -1)

(3-2) /( 4+1)

1/5
