Question 225385: find the slope of the line that passes through the given points
(3,1)
(2,6)
Answer by RAY100(1637)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope = m = rise / run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
.
(3,1) and (2,6)
.
m=(6-1) / (2-3) = 5/-1 = -5,,,,,,,,slope down to right
.
.
check,,,a rough graph, shows chg y = 5, chg x = 1, slope negative, -5,,,,ok
