Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the following points.

Y -1 0 1 2
X-4 -1 2 5

(1 point)

-5

-3

-1/3

3

Answer 1

There is only negative 1/3 not positive 1/3

Answer 2

To find the slope of the line that goes through the given points, we can use the formula for slope:

m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Using the first two points (-4, -1) and (-1, 0), we can substitute the given values into the formula:

m = (0 - (-1)) / (-1 - (-4))
m = (0 + 1) / (-1 + 4)
m = 1 / 3

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/3.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the slope again using the correct points:

Using the last two points (2, 1) and (5, 2), we can substitute the given values into the formula:

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

Therefore, the correct slope of the line is 1/3.
