Question

What is the slope.of the line passing points (1, -5) and (4, 1)

Answer 1

`\huge{\boxed{\sf{ 2 }}}`

Explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( 1 , -5 )
`\longrightarrow` ( x1 , y1 )

B ( 4 , 1 )
`\longrightarrow` ( x2 , y2 )

Finding the slope :

Slope =
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Slope =
`(1 - ( -5 ))/(4 - 1)`

Slope =
`(1+5)/(4-1)`

Slope =
`(6)/(3)`

Slope =
`2`
