Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1)? −45 54 2 −2

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope of the line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) is 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope is given by

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

As given

line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) .

$m = \frac{1-(-5)}{4-1}$

$m = \frac{1+5}{4-1}$

$m = \frac{6}{3}$

m = 2

Therefore the slope of the line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) is 2 .

Answer 2

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(1-(-5))/(4-1)
m=(1+5)/(3)
m=6/3
Slope=m=2
