Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) (0, 5)
The formula for finding the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (-1, 2) and (0, 5), we can substitute the respective values into the formula:
slope = (5 - 2) / (0 - (-1))
Simplifying, we get:
slope = (5 - 2) / (0 + 1)
slope = 3/1 = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 2) and (0, 5) is 3.
