What is the slope of the line that goes through (6,5) and (3, 1)?

1 answer

To find the slope of the line that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we can use the slope formula:

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

Using the points (6,5) and (3,1), we can substitute their coordinates as follows:

slope = (1 - 5) / (3 - 6)

slope = -4 / -3

slope = 4/3

Therefore, the slope of the line that goes through (6,5) and (3,1) is 4/3.
