Question

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

5/4

-4/5

-5/4

4/5

Answer 1

slope = -
`(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 2)

m =
`(-2-3)/(5-1)` = -
`(5)/(4)`
