Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 7) and (4, - 1)?

-5/6
-8/5
-2
2

Answer 1

To do this you will use the equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1. So think of the points as x1=-7, y1=7 & x2=4,y2=-1 and then simply replace them in the equation so, (-1)-7/4-(-1)= 8/5. And 8/5 cannot be further simplified so that’s ur answer.
