What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: #(5,4) ,(0,3) #?

Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

#m=1/5#

Let

#x_1=5# #y_1=4# #x_2=0# #y_2=3#

Next, Slope

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(3-4)/(0-5)=(-1)/(-5)=1/5#

To find the slope of the line passing through the points ( (5,4) ) and ( (0,3) ), use the slope formula:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ]

Substitute the coordinates into the formula:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{3 - 4}{0 - 5} ]

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{-1}{-5} ]

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{1}{5} ]

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.
