what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,3) and (5,-2)

-5/4
- -5/4*
-4/5
- -4/5
please help me someone thank you!

sorry i choose D -4/5

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:

slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)

Given the points (1,3) and (5,-2), we can calculate the slope using this formula:

change in y-coordinates = -2 - 3 = -5
change in x-coordinates = 5 - 1 = 4

slope = (-5) / 4 = -5/4

Therefore, the correct answer is -5/4.

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

Let's apply this formula to the points (1,3) and (5,-2):

change in y = -2 - 3 = -5
change in x = 5 - 1 = 4

slope = (-5)/(4) = -5/4

So, the correct answer is -5/4.
