Question

What is the slope.of the line passing points (1, -5) and (4, 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ 2 }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( 1 , -5 ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x1 , y1 )

B ( 4 , 1 ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x2 , y2 )

Finding the slope :

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

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

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

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

Slope = $2$
