Slope of a Line given points (4, -1) and (0, 5)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 4  y₁ = -1,  x₂ = 0  y₂ = 5
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  m  =  –    (Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 4, GCF(6, 4) = 2)m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (4, -1) and (0, 5) is equal to  –

3/2

Note: As a decimal number,  –   = -1.5
