Question

Find the slope that passes through the points that pass through 2,13 and 4,5

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,13) and (4,5) we can use our slope formula.

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

$\frac{5 - 13}{4 - 2}$

5 - 13 = -8

4 - 2 = 2

Therefore, the slope of this line is$\frac{-8}{2}$

$\frac{-8}{2}$ can be simplified to -4.
