Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Best Regards!

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$

$m = \frac{5 - 1}{4 - 0}$

$m = 1$
