Question

A line passes through the points(-3,-1) and (-5,4) what is the slope of this Line

Answer 1

The slope is -5/2

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line between two points, we use the equation

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m = (4--1)/(-5--3)

= (4+1)/(-5+3)

= 5/-2

= -5/2

The slope is -5/2
