Question

Find the slope of the line containing (-5,3) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

The slope is -5/6.

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\displaystyle y_2=-2\\\displaystyle y_1=3\\\displaystyle x_2=1\\\displaystyle x_1=-5`

`\displaystyle ((-2)-3)/(1-(-5))=(-5)/(6)=-(5)/(6)`

`\huge \textnormal{Therefore, the slope is -5/6}`.
