Question

Which of the following best describes the slope of the line below?

Answer 1

Just in case:

This slope goes through (0,0) or more formally, the origin.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Equation of line passing through origin is given by

y=m x

As line passes through (5,-5) and (-5,5).

So, putting the value of ordered pair in above equation , to obtain slope

5=-5m

Dividing both sides by , -5 we get

m=-1

And equation of line is, y=-x, having slope equal to -1.
