What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-2,5) and (1,4)
We can use the formula for slope:
\[m = \frac{{y_2 - y_1}}{{x_2 - x_1}}\]
where we label the coordinates of the first point as \((x_1, y_1)\) and the coordinates of the second point as \((x_2, y_2)\).
Using the coordinates \((-2, 5)\) and \((1, 4)\), we have:
\[m = \frac{{4 - 5}}{{1 - (-2)}} = \frac{{-1}}{{3}}\]
So, the slope of the line that passes through the points \((-2, 5)\) and \((1, 4)\) is \(\frac{{-1}}{{3}}\).
