What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,5) and (1,4)
The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Let's plug in the given points:
slope = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
slope = -1 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,5) and (1,4) is -1/3.
