Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

`m= (6)/(5)`

Explanation:

Slope can be calculated using following formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Here

`(x_1, y_1) = (-5, -1) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (5, 11)`

Slope m is given as

`m=(11-(-1))/(5-(-5))`

`m=(12)/(10)\\m=(6)/(5)`

Answer 2

Answer: C. 5/6


Steps:

Use the formula x1-x2/y1-y2 to find the slope

(5,11), (-5,-1)

-5-5/-1-11
= -10/-12
=5/6
