Question

find the slope of the line that contains the two points shown below simplify as much as possible and do not convert to a decimal if you get a fraction

Answer 1

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-5,-3) \\ (x2,y2)=(5,5) \end{gathered}`

The slope is given by:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(5-(-3))/(5-(-5))=(8)/(10)=(4)/(5)`
