Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 5) and (0, 1)?

Answer 1

Slope is 1

Explanation:

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

`m = (5 - 1)/(4 - 0)`

`m = 1`

Answer 2

Hi student, let me help you out!

..........................................................................................................................

Let's find the slope with the help of this formula:

`\star\boxed{\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}}\star`, where y2 and y1 are y-coordinates, and x2 and x1 are x-coordinates.

Stick in the values:
`\mathrm{\cfrac{1-5}{0-4}}`.

Upon simplifying, we get
`\mathrm{\cfrac{-4}{-4}}}=\boxed{slope=-1}`

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.
