slope form of a line => (x2-x1)=m(y2-y1)
where (x1, y1) are coordinates of one point of line and (x2,y2) are coordinates of another point of line and m is called slope of line
given that:- vertices of quadrilateral are A(2,2), B(1,5) C(5,3), D(4,6)
find:- what is the slope of line segment BA
coordinates of B=(1,5)=(x1,y1)
coordinates of A=(2,2)=(x2,y2)
put these values in slope form => (x2-x1)=m(y2-y1)
(2-1)=m(2-5)
1= -3m
m= -⅓
so the slope of line is -⅓
