How do you find the slope of (-1, 3) and (5, 2)?

Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

#=( - 1)/ ( 6)#

#(-1 , 3) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)#

#(5 , 2 ) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2)#

Formula is used to calculate the slope:

Slope #=color(blue)((y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)#

#=( 2 - 3)/ ( 5 - (-1))#

#=( - 1)/ ( 5 + 1)#

#=( - 1)/ ( 6)#

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 3) and (5, 2), you can use the slope formula: ( m = \frac{{y_2 - y_1}}{{x_2 - x_1}} ). Substituting the coordinates into the formula, you get ( m = \frac{{2 - 3}}{{5 - (-1)}} ). This simplifies to ( m = \frac{{-1}}{{6}} ). Therefore, the slope of the line is ( -\frac{1}{6} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
