Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{1}{3}$

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 ) = (- 4, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 4 )

m = $\frac{4-1}{5-(-4)}$ = $\frac{3}{5+4}$ = $\frac{3}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
