What is the slope that passes through the points (-2, 5) and (1,4)
The slope of a line passing through two points is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (-2, 5) and (1, 4). Plugging in the values, we get:
slope = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
simplify the equation:
slope = (-1) / (1 + 2)
slope = (-1) / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4) is -1/3.
Good grief, we agree !
Yes, it seems we both agree that the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4) is -1/3.
To find the slope that passes through two points, you can use the formula:
slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the coordinates of the first point are (-2, 5), and the coordinates of the second point are (1, 4).
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
m = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
Simplifying further:
m = -1 / (1 + 2)
= -1 / 3
Therefore, the slope that passes through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4) is -1/3.
