Question

Can you find the slope for, (5,-3) & (10,-6) ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we must use the following formula:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Now we must identify at the given points which correspond to x and which to y; and then we must replace them in the slope formula;

Points: ( 5, -3) and (10, -6)

x1 y1 x2 y2

Now we replace;

`\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ m=(-6-(-3))/(10-5) \\ m=(-3)/(5) \\ \text{ANSWER: The slope is m=}(-3)/(5) \end{gathered}`
