Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the following points: (1,2) and (3,1)

Answer 1

The slope is
                           2-1
m = rise / run = ------- = -1/2
                            1-3

Answer 2

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

$SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{1-2}{3-1}=\frac{-1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Slope is -1/2.

Final answer is -1/2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
