Answer:
Slope of the line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) is 2 .
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the slope is given by
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
As given
line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) .
[tex]m = \frac{1-(-5)}{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{1+5}{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{6}{3}[/tex]
m = 2
Therefore the slope of the line passing through the points (1, −5) and (4, 1) is 2 .
