Question

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

Answer 1

Slope is `5/2`

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points is given by `(x_1, y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` is given by `(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Hence in the instant case, slope between the two points is given by `(-3-2)/(1-3)` or `(-5)/-2`

or `5/2`
