Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the following points $G(-4,-5)$ and $H(-1,-2)$

• A. $0$
• B. $-1$
• C. $5$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $1$

Slope of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is:

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

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points $G(-4,-5)$ and $H(-1,-2)$ is:

$m=\frac{-2-(-5)}{-1-(-4)}=\frac{-2+5}{-1+4}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

Hence, the slope of the line is $1$.
