What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)? a. −54 b.−45 c,45 d,54

Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

option a. [tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)

substitute

[tex]m=\frac{-2-3}{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m=-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
