Question

What would the second point be with point (-2,-5) to get a line with the slope of -1

Answer 1

A second point would be (-1, -6)

Explanation:

Because the slope is -1, we know that for every number that x increases, we change y the amount of the slope. So, if we increase x by 1, we change y by -1.

x value

-2 + 1 = -1

y value

-5 - 1 = -6
