Given:
(13, 1)
(-2, 4)
x1 = 13
x2 = -2
y1= 1
y2 = 4
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 1)/(-2 - 13)
m = 3/-15
m = - 1/5
Final answer:
The slope of the line = -1/5
