Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,5) and (1,4)?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In this case, the two points are (-2,5) and (1,4):

slope = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
= (-1) / (1 + 2)
= (-1) / 3

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,5) and (1,4) is -1/3.
