Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (6,4).

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{-4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:

$\frac{5-4}{2-6}$

Then we simplify:

$\frac{1}{-4}$

The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{-4}$.
