Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (4, 3) and (5, -1).

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is m= -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-In order to find the slope, you need the slope formula:

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

-Place the two points onto that equation:

$m=\frac{5-3}{-1-4}$

_Then, solve the equation:

$m=\frac{5-3}{-1-4}$

$m=\frac{2}{-5}$

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$
