Answer:
Option A is correct
The slope of a line that passes through the points\((2, -5)\) and \((4, 1)\) is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula of slope(m) for two points is given by:
\(\text{Slope}(m) = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
Given the two points:
\((2, -5)\) and \((4, 1)\)
Substitute these points in the given formula we have;
\(m = \frac{1-(-5)}{4-2}\)
Simplify:
\(m = \frac{6}{2} = 3\)
Therefore, the slope of a line that passes through the points \((2, -5)\) and \((4, 1)\) is 3
