Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(-2,1), (5, 4)`?

Answer 1

slope `=3/7`

Explanation:

The points are:
`(-2,1) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

`(5,4) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The slope is calculated using formula:
slope `= (y_2-y_1) / (x_2-x_1)`

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

`=3/(5+2)`

`=3/7`
