"slope "=5/2slope =52

Explanation:

"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)xm=y2y1x2x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,0)let (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(1,0)

rArrm=(0-5)/(1-3)=(-5)/(-2)=5/2m=0513=52=52

The slope is 5/252.

Explanation:

(Y_2 - Y_1)/(X_2 - X_1) = mY2Y1X2X1=m, the slope

Label your ordered pairs.

(3, 5) (X_1, Y_1)(X1,Y1)
(1, 0) (X_2, Y_2)(X2,Y2)

Plug in your data.

(0 - 5)/(1 - 3)0513 = mm

Simplify.

(-5)/(-2)52 = mm

Since two negatives make a positive:

mm = 5/252
