A line contains points cap m of 1 comma 3 and cap n of 5 comma 0 What is the slope of line segment MN ?
Answer
A
negative 4 thirds
B
negative 3 fourths
C
4 thirds
D
3 fourths
Explanation
Use the slope formula: change in y divided by change in x. From M(1, 3) to N(5, 0), the slope is (0 − 3)/(5 − 1) = −3/4, so the correct choice is negative 3 fourths.
