Question

How do you find the slope of the line between point (4,-1) and point (3,5)?

Answer 1

Slope `m=-6`

Explanation:

Slope of line passing through 2 points `(x_1, y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` is determined as`m = (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2)`.

Given `(x_1, y_1)` = `(4,-1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` = `(3,5)`

`m = (-1-5)/(4 - 3)` => `m=-6`
