Question

find the slope of the line through the points (-6,5) and (3, -2)

Answer 1

We have to find the slope of the line that pass through points P1=(-6,5) and P2=(3,-2).

We can calculate it as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-2-5}{3-(-6)}=\frac{-7}{9}=-\frac{7}{9}$

Answer: the slope of the line is m = -7/9
