Question

can you find the slope for, (5,-3) & (10,-6) ?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION:

To find the slope we must use the following formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Now we must identify at the given points which correspond to x and which to y; and then we must replace them in the slope formula;

Points: ( 5, -3) and (10, -6)

x1 y1 x2 y2

Now we replace;

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ m=\frac{-6-(-3)}{10-5} \\ m=\frac{-3}{5} \\ \text{ANSWER: The slope is m=}\frac{-3}{5} \end{gathered}$
