Question

Find the slope of the line through (2,-2) and 5,-1)

Answer 1

`m=(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:-2\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(5,\:-1\right)\\\\m=(-1-\left(-2\right))/(5-2)\\\\m = (-1+2)/(3)\\ \\Simplify\\m = (1)/(3)`
