Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, -5) and (4, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-3, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract

1-4=--3

-5-1=-6

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope use the slope formula

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Plug in the points

$\frac{1 - - 5}{4 - 1}$

$\frac{1 + 5}{4 - 1}$

$\frac{6}{3}$

= 2
