"Find the slope of the line passing through J(0,5) and K(-1,2)"

I did the problem but I just need someone to check if its right.

my work:
M= y2 - y1
--------
x2 - y1

M= 2 - 5
-----
-1 - 0

M= -3
----
-1

M= 3

Thank you.

Your work is almost correct, just a small mistake with the signs. Let me show you the correct calculation:

To find the slope of the line passing through the points J(0, 5) and K(-1, 2), you can use the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's label J as (x1, y1) and K as (x2, y2).

x1 = 0, y1 = 5
x2 = -1, y2 = 2

Substituting these values into the formula:

m = (2 - 5) / (-1 - 0)

Simplifying:

m = -3 / -1

Since dividing a negative by a negative gives a positive:

m = 3

So, the slope of the line passing through J(0, 5) and K(-1, 2) is indeed 3. Great job!
