Question

The slope and equation of a straight line passing through the points (-1, 4) and (5, -2) is ........... *​

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of a line passing through points (-1,4) and (5,-2) is -1 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let P= (x_1, y_1) = (-1,4)

Q = (x_2,y_2)= (5,-2)

Find: Slope of given points

Formula Slope of line

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\\=\frac{(-2-4)}{5 - (-1)}\\=\frac{(-6)}{6}\\m= -1$

So, the slope of a line passing through points (-1,4) and (5,-2) is -1 .
