Question

(03.06) Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, −3) and (3, −5). (1 point)

Answer 1

(1,-3)(3,-5)
slope = (-5 - (-3) / (3 - 1) = -2/2 = -1 <==

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points (1,-3) and (3,-5) is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Points (1,-3) and (3,-5).

To find : The slope of the line that passes through the points?

Solution :

The line passes through the points (1,-3) and (3,-5).

The slope formula of the line passing through points is

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

Where, $(x_1,y_1)=(1,-3)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,-5)$

Substitute the value in the formula,

$m=\frac{-5-(-3)}{3-1}$

$m=\frac{-2}{2}$

$m=-1$

Therefore, The slope of the line that passes through the points (1,-3) and (3,-5) is -1.
