Question

Find the slope of line passing through points $(-2,5)$ and $(6,4)$.

Answer 1

Slope of line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

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

Since the line passes through $(-2,5)$ and $(6,4)$

We have

$Slope\left(m\right)=\frac{4-5}{6-(-2)}=-\frac{1}{8}$
