What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3) and
(-5, -2)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

The slope in simplest form is

`- (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Remember:

`slope \: = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

We just plug in and solve.

`slope = ( - 2 - ( - 3))/( - 5 - ( - 3)) = ( \: \: 1)/( - 2) = - (1)/(2)`
