What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,5) and (-1,-4)
One of the basics you MUST know how to do
slope = change in the y's / change in x's
= rise/run
= deltay/deltax
= (-4-5)/(-1-2) = -9/-3 = +3
Thank youu sooo much that helped a lot
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's denote the first point as (x1, y1) and the second point as (x2, y2).
Given the points (2, 5) and (-1, -4), we can plug these values into the slope formula:
slope = (-4 - 5) / (-1 - 2)
= (-9) / (-3)
= 3
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,5) and (-1,-4) is 3.
