Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, –5) and (4, 1)?

Answer 1

You are given two points that could be plotted on a graph (1,-5) and (4,1). The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2 -x1

When plotted into the points it would look like 1-(-5)/4-1= 6/3

6/3=2. So, the slope for these two points is 2.
