Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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

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

Using the given points (2,5) and (6,1), we can substitute the values into the formula:

slope = (1 - 5) / (6 - 2)
= -4 / 4
= -1
