Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `( 3,5 ) , (2, 0)`?

Answer 1

The slope is 5

Explanation:

The slope is the difference in y(or f(x) ) when x changes its value by 1. If x is increased by 1 and the y also rises, the slope is positive; if x is increased by 1 but y decreases, the slope is negative.
In this case, `x` has decreased by 1, and `y` also decreased, but by 5, so, the slope is positive, and has the value of 5.

Answer 2

`Slope = 5`

Explanation:

To be mathematical
Slope between any two points `(x1,y1)` & `(x2,y2)`on a 2D Cartesian coordinate system id given by
`m(slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
So, in this case
`slope=(0-5)/(2-3)`
thus, `Slope=5`
