A. 4/5
B. 5/4
C. -4/5
D. -5/4

Respuesta :

Kaikerscupcake
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the points.

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

m= -5/4

"D" is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

Greetings!

To solve for the slope using the two points, we can use the slope formula:
[tex]m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} [/tex]

Input the points into the formula:
[tex]m= \frac{-2-3}{5-1} [/tex]

Simplify the equation:
[tex]m= \frac{-5}{4} [/tex]

The Slope Is:
[tex]\boxed{\frac{-5}{4}}[/tex]

I hope this helped!
