Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 1) and (2, -7)?

Answer 1

8/3

Explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line that passes through points , (5,1) and (2,-7) . We can find the slope as ,

=> m = y₁ - y₂/ x ₁ - x ₂

=> m = -7 - 1 / 2 - 5

=> m = -8/-3

=> m = 8/3

Hence the slope of the line is 8/3 .
