Question

(-5,8) and (-10,3) what is the slope

Answer 1

slope = 1

Explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, 3)

m =
`(3-8)/(-10+5)` =
`(-5)/(-5)` = 1

Answer 2

The slope is 1.

Step-by-step explanation: when you graph them you do the rise/run you get 1 which is the slope.
