What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 2) and (3,-1)?

Slope = -4/5

to calculate the slope m use the gradient form

m = y2 -y1
————
x2 - x1

let (x1, y1) = (3,1) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 5)

m = 5 - 1 4
———- = ——-
-2 - 3 -5

= - 4/5

$22. if larry's profit were to minimize by one for every hour his store were to be closed, we would subtract 30 by 8.

The answer is 49/16 or 3 1/16
