Question 155094: How do you find the slope of the line containing the points (-1, -1/5) and (2/3, 3/4)? I am confused about this because I do not understand how to find the slope when the points contain fractions and/or decimals.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do you find the slope of the line containing the points (-1, -1/5) and (2/3, 3/4)?
-----------------
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
----------------------
slope = ((3/4)-(-1/5))/((2/3)-(-1))
slope = [(15+4)/20] / [5/3]
slope = [19/20] * [3/5]
slope = 57/100
