Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−2, −8) and (−3, −9) ?

Answer 1

Slope = 1

Explanation:

Slope = Change in y ÷ change in x

The line passes through (-2,-8) and (-3,-9)

Slope =
`(-8--9)/(-2--3)` = 1

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

Slope formula: ⇒
`(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)`

`((-9)-(-8))/((-3)-(-2))=(-1)/(-1)=1`

Therefore, the slope is 1.

1 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!
