what is the slope of the line that passes through the two points?

(2, 5), (-1, 10)

1 answer

To find the slope of the line that passes through the two points (2, 5) and (-1, 10), we use the formula for slope:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let (x1, y1) = (2, 5) and (x2, y2) = (-1, 10):

slope = (10 - 5) / (-1 - 2)
slope = 5 / -3

Hence, the slope of the line is -5/3.
