Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points listed below.(1, 0) , (-4, 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$m\text{ = -}\frac{2}{5}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the slope of the line that passes through the given points

Mathematically, we have that as:

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

where:

(x1,y1) = (1,0)

(x2,y2) = (-4,2)

Substituting the values, we have:

$m\text{ = }\frac{2-0}{-4-1}\text{ = -}\frac{2}{5}$
