The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be calculated using the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Substituting the given coordinates (5, 4) and (2, 5) into the formula:
m = (5 - 4) / (2 - 5)
m = 1 / -3
So, the slope of the line is -1/3.
find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 4) and (2, 5).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
