I cant figure out how to do this question plz help!

Answer 1

Answer:

$slope (m) = \frac{1 - (-5)}{2 - (-1)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{2 + 1}$

$= \frac{6}{3} = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope (m) using the two points given, (-1, -5) and (2, 1):

$slope (m) = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let,

$(-1, -5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(2, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values into the equation:

$slope (m) = \frac{1 - (-5)}{2 - (-1)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{2 + 1}$

$= \frac{6}{3} = 2$
