Question

Find the slope of (5,-5) and (-4,5)

Answer 1

Slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5) is
`\mathbf{-(10)/(9) }`

Explanation:

We need to find the slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5)

The formula used to find slope is:
`Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have
`x_1=5, y_1=-5, x_2=-4 \ and \ y=5`

Putting values in formula and finding slope

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

`Slope=(5-(-5))/(-4-(5))\\Slope=(5+5)/(-4-5)\\Slope=(10)/(-9)\\Slope=-(10)/(9)`

So, slope of points (5,-5) and (-4,5) is
`\mathbf{-(10)/(9) }`
