Answer:
m = -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 1) and (-2,5).
The slope of the line is given by :
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Put x₁ = 3, x₂ = -2, y₁ = 1 and y₂ = 5
Put all the values,
[tex]m=\dfrac{5-1}{-2-3}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{-5}\\\\=\dfrac{-4}{5}[/tex]
So, the correct option is (b).
