Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through points (2,-3) and (5,1)

Answer 1

Find the difference in the y-coordinates: -3 - 1 = -4

Find the difference in the x-coordinates in the same order: 2 - 5 = -3

Divide the difference in y by the difference in x: slope = (-4)/(-3)

Reduce the fraction: slope = 4/3
