Question

How do you find the slope of (1/3, 2/5 ) , (-1/3, 3/5)?

Answer 1

`color(brown)("Slope " m = -3/10`

Explanation:

#"Gradient formula : m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

`(x_1, y_1) = (1/3, 2/5), (x_2,y_2) = (-1/3, 3/5)`

`"[Slope](https://socratic.org/algebra/graphs-of-linear-equations-and-functions/slope) " m = (3/5 - 2/5) / (-1/3 - 1/3)`

`color(brown)("Slope " m = (1/5) / -(2/3) = -3/10`
