The slope of the line given the points (2, 1) and (1, -4) is 5

Calculating the slope of a line

The given points are:

(2, 1) and (1, -4)

The slope of a line that passes through the points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute x_1=2, y_1=1, x_2=1, y_2=-4 into the slope formula

$m=\frac{-4-1}{1-2} \\\\m=\frac{-5}{-1} \\\\m=5$

Therefore, the slope of the line given the points (2, 1) and (1, -4) is 5
