Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (4,5) (10,0)

Answer 1

slope = difference in y / difference in x
slope = 5 - 0 / 4 - 10
slope = 5 / -6
slope = -.83333

Answer 2

The slope of the line passes through the pair of points (4,5) (10,0) is -5/6

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we will use below formula:

`slope=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Then for the two points (4,5) and (10,0) the formula becomes:

`slope=(0-5)/(10-4)=-5/6`
