Question

Find the slope of the line that runs through 2,1 -1,-5 and 3,3

Answer 1

The slope of line passing through given points is: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define slope first

Slope is the steepness of a line

Slope is denoted by m

The formula for slope is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Given points are:

(2,1) (-1,-5) and (3,3)

We will takes any two points to find the slope of the line passing through the points

So we take

(2,1) = (x1,y1)

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

Putting the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-1}{-1-2}\\= \frac{-6}{-3}\\=2$

The slope of line passing through given points is: 2
