Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

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

Using the coordinates given in the problem, we have:

slope = (1 - 5) / (2 - 4) = (-4) / (-2) = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the two given points is 2.
