Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)? slope = -1 slope = 0 slope = 1 no slope

Answer 1

you would find the slope by putting the points in the formula y2-y1/x2-x1

when plugged it should look like this

-3-5/5+3

now add or subtract the numbers to get

-8/8

when you divide it you will get 

-1 

hope this helped

Answer 2

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this case...

$y_{2} =-3\\y_{1} =5\\x_{2} =5\\x_{1} =-3$

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

$\frac{-3 - 5}{5 - (-3)}$

$\frac{-8}{8}$

This can be further simplified to:

-1

^^^This is your slope
