Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points (5, 14) and (1, -2).

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2-14}{1-5}$ = $\frac{-16}{-4}$ = 4
