Question 132175
The slope is the rise over the run or rise/run.

Your question:

A line is located  at (1,3) and (4,-2).Where is the slope.

I got -5/3

Thank You!

Let (1,3) = (a, b)

Let (4,-2) = (c, d)

Slope = d minus b divided by c minus a

We now plug and chug!

Slope = -2 - 3/4 - 1

Slope = -5/3

You did great!

This slope is negative, which means the line of this graph is slanted from the left side falling down to the right side of the coordinate plane.
