Wat is the slope of the line that passes through the points 3,1) and (-2,5)

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$m=\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}$

Here’s why:  

• We can use the slope formula to find the slope of the two points given.

$\boxed{\text{Recall that the slope formula is:}}\\\\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)-\text{Points}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{5-1}{-2-3} \\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{4}{-5}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m= -\frac{4}{5}}$
