Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points G(4, 5) and H (–1, –2).

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points 

\[\left( x_1 , y_1 \right) and \left( x_2 , y_2 \right)\]

\[\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

∴ Slope of the line passing through the points G(4, 5) and H (–1, –2) =

\[\frac{- 2 - 5}{- 1 - 4} = \frac{- 7}{- 5} = \frac{7}{5}\]
