Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the two following points?
(2,-5),(-1,4)

- 1/3
- -1/3
- 3
- -3

Answer 1

-3 because 4- -5 is 9 and -1 -2 is -3 and if you put 9/-3 you get -3/1 and -3/1 simplified is -3

Answer 2

Hey, so you use y= y2-y1/ x2-x1
y= 4-(-5)/-1-2
y= 9/-3
y= -3

Therefore, the slope of the line is y=-3
