Question

Find the slope between (3,1) and (-1,11)

Answer 1

-2
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

using the formula
`((y_(2)-y_(1)))/((x_(2)-x_(1)))` to find the slope, we get
`(11-1)/(-1-3)`, which is equal to -
`(10)/(4)`

Simplifying this, we get -2
`(1)/(2)`.

Answer 2

m= -5/2

Explanation:

(x1,y1)=(3,1)

(x2,y2)=(−1,11)

Use the slope formula:

m=y2−y1 divided by x2−x1

=11−1 . −1−3=
