Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points listed below.
(4,5) , (6,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient= y2-y1 over x2-x1

2-5 over 6-4

which equals to -3 over 2

Answer 2

Answer:

 -3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line joining the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)  so here we have

Slope = (2 - 5)/(6 - 4)

          =  -3/2
