Question

Whats is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,-1) and (-2,-5)

Answer 1

-5-(-1) -4
-------- = ---
-2-(3) 5

Answer 2

You just subtract the x's and subtract the y's. So it will be 3- -2 and -1 - -5. Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive so your answer will be 5/4.
