Question

What is the slope line passing through the points (2, 5) and (-1, -4) Show all of your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope m = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (2, 5) and (-1, -4). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-4-5}{-1-2}=\dfrac{-9}{-3}=3$
