Question

Point P is located at (-5,-1) and point Q is located at (-1,-7).find the slope of line segment PQ.

Answer 1

Point A (x1,y2) = (-1, -7)

Point B (x2,y2) = (-5, -1)

Objective :

Find the slope of a line that passes through points A and B.

Formula :

Slope

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

Solution:

Slope (m) = $\frac{-1-(-7)}{5-(-1)}$

=6 - 4

m = -1.5
