Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (5,-15) and (6,-5). Slope, m =

Answer 1

In order to find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we can use the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So, using the points (5, -15) and (6, -5), we have:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-5-(-15)}{6-5} \\ m=\frac{-5+15}{1} \\ m=10 \end{gathered}$

So the slope is m = 10.
