Question

Can someone please answer this?

What is the slope of a line that passes through points (1,5) and (3,1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (1 , 5) and (x₂ , y₂) = (3 , 1)

Slope = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

          $= \frac{1- 5}{3 - 1}\\\\=\frac{-4}{2}\\\\= - 2$
