Question

Find the slope of the line between the points (1, 4) and (-1,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 6)

m = $\frac{6-4}{-1-1}$ = $\frac{2}{-2}$ = - 1
