Question

What is the slope for (0,-3),(-3,2)

Answer 1

Given the general rule for the slope:

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

We have the following in this case:

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,-3) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(-3,2) \\ \Rightarrow m=(2-(-3))/(-3-0)=(2+3)/(-3)=-(5)/(3) \\ m=-(5)/(3) \end{gathered}`

therefore, the slope is m=-5/3
