Question

What would the slope be for points (-5,8) and (-7,10)

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

`(10-8)/(-7- - 5)` =
`(2)/(-7+5)` =
`(2)/(-2)` = -1

Ordered pairs are written (x,y) The first number is the x coordinate and the second number is the y coordinate.

(-5,8) and (-7,10) You take the y's and subtract them that is your numerator. Take the x's and subtract them. That is your denominator.
