Question
find the slope of the line joining two points \\((5, 3)\\) and \\((1, 6)\\).
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(-4/3\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(-3/4\\)
Identify the given coordinates
$$
(x_1, y_1) = (5, 3),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (1, 6)
$$
Apply the slope formula
$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - 3}{1 - 5}
$$
Simplify the expression
$$
m = \frac{3}{-4} = -\frac{3}{4}
$$
