Question

Find the slope of the line through the pair of points (5,6) and (-1,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line through the pair of points (5,6) and (-1,1) is $\frac{5}{6}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is calculated by $m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

$m=\dfrac{1-6}{-1-5}\\=\dfrac{-5}{-6}\\=\dfrac{5}{6}$
