Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,7) and (4,-1)

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{-8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (a,b) and (m,n) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{n-b}{m-a}$

Given points : (-1,7) and (4,-1)

Then, the slope of the line passing through the points  (-1,7) and (4,-1) will be :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{-1-7}{4-(-1)}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{4+1}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{5}$

Hence, the required slope = $\dfrac{-8}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

(5 , -18)
