Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3)

Answer 1

1/5 (Answer D)

Explanation:

Going right from (-1, 2) to (4, 3), we see x increasing by 5; this is the "run;"

we also see y increasing by 1; this is the "rise."

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 1/5 (Answer D)

Answer 2

Start by making a table for ordered pairs.

X in the left column and y in the right column.

Now find the change in y and change in x.

This 1/5.

So our slope is 1/5.
