Question

find the slope of the line between each pair of points (5,11) (-3,-6) explain how you got the answer so I can see.

Answer 1

You can use slope formula to find slope of given points.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-6-11)/(-3-5)
m = -17 / -8
Cancel out minus sign in both nominator and denominator. Thus,
m = 17/8
Hence, the slope is 17/8
