Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the given points. Write your answer below.

(3,4), (-2,1)

Answer 1

Just use the formula:
$slope(m) = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then, plug in numbers:
$m = \frac{1-4}{-2-3} = \frac{-3}{-5} = \frac{3}{5}$

And that would be your answer: 3/5 is the slope.
