Question

Can anybody figure out what the slope is?

(-5,-2) and (0, 8)

Answer 1

y=2x+8 so the slope is 2

Explanation:

y=mx+b 8=m(0)+b 8=b

-2=m(-5)+8 -10=m(-5) 2=m

Answer 2

The slope is 10/5

Explanation:

The slope is the rise over run, or how many it goes up/down over how many it goes left/right.

If you keep adding to -2 all the way until you get 8, you'd get 10, since you'd add 2 to get to 0 and 8 to get to 8

If you keep adding to -5 all the way to 0, you'd get 5.

Hope this helps!
