Chapter 4: Q. 689 (page 575)

Find the slope of the line between the points (5, 2) and (−1, −4) .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of the line is1.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

Two points of a line are(5,2),(-1,-4).

02

Step 2. Calculate rise and run.

The rise is change in y-coordinates,

rise=-4-2=-6

The run is the change in x-coordinates,

run=-1-5=-6

03

Step 3. The slope of the line.

The slope is the ratio of change in y to the change in xorratio of rise to run.

m=-6-6=1

The slope of the line with given points is 1.
