Question

What is the slope of the line that’s contains the points (-2, 5)and (6,-3)?

Answer 1

The slope would be -1

To find the slope you do the slope formula.

y2-y1/x2-x1

-3-5/6+2

-8/8

Slope = -1

Answer 2

The slope is -1

Explanation:

We can find the slope by using

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

= (-3-5)/(6 - -2)

= (-3-5)/(6+2)

= -8/8

-1
