Question

Find the slope of the line that passesthrough these two points.Point 1 Point 2(3,5) (4,2)X1 У1X2 Y2m =y2-yiX2-X1m = [?]

Answer 1

The coordinates are given as

$(3,5),(4,2)$

Then find the slope of the line of the equation using

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the values.

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

Hence the slope is -3.
