Question

A line contains points M(1, 3) and N(5, 0). What is the slope of MN?

Answer 1

-3/4..

slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{-3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find: The slope of the line contains the points M(1,3) and N(5,0)

Now when coordinates points is given the value of slope is given by

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where m is slope

Therefore slope is

$m=\dfrac{0-3}{5-1} =\dfrac{-3}{4}$

Hence, the slope is $\dfrac{-3}{4}$
