Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, -3) and (0, -4).

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the slope:

$\frac{(y_{1} - y_{2})}{(x_{1} - x_{2})} =\frac{(-3-(-4))}{(-5-0)} =\frac{1}{-5}$

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

you use the y1-y2 over x1- x2 so it would be -3-(-4) / -5-0 which is 1/-5
