What is the slope of the line through (2,5) and (-1,2)?

Mathematics

Answer:

The slope of the line is m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 2 - 5 / -1 - 2

m = -3 / -3

m = 1

X1 is 2

Y1 is 5

X2 is -1

Y2 is 2

The equation y - 3x - 5 = 0 when written in slope-intercept form is:
quester [9]

Answer:

y = 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero seems to be a place holder to mess you up. Just ignore that it doesn't do anything. Add -3x and -5 to the both sides to create y = 3x + 5
