Find the slope of the line passing through the points (1, -1) and (4, -2).

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]slope=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the two points (1, -1) and (4, -2) we have to use the slope formula.

[tex]slope=\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]             [tex]slope=\frac{(-2)- (-1)}{4 -1}[/tex]      

[tex]slope=\frac{-1 }{3}=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  can also be written as a decimal  [tex]slope=-0.333333[/tex]
