Multiple Choice What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (- 2, 5) and (1, 4) ? (1point) 0-3 - 1/3; 1/3
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given coordinates (-2, 5) and (1, 4), we have:
slope = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
slope = (-1) / (1 + 2)
slope = -1 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4) is -1/3.
