Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1,2) and (4, 3)?

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 3 )

m =
`(3-2)/(4-(-1))` =
`(1)/(4+1)` =
`(1)/(5)`
