Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(2, -3) , (5,1)`?

Answer 1

The slope
`m=(4)/(3`

Explanation:

The coordinates provided are
`(2,-3) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

`(5,1) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The slope is found using formula
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1`

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

`m=(4)/(3`
