Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the Slope of the line is

$Slope=-\dfrac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

Let,  

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 1 , -5)

point B( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (-4 , -2)

To Find:  

Slope of Line AB =?  

Solution:  

Slope of line between Two points is given as

$Slope(AB)=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Substituting the values we get

$Slope=\dfrac{-2-(-5)}{-4-1}=\dfrac{3}{-5}$

Therefore the Slope of the line is

$Slope=-\dfrac{3}{5}$
