Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1 and (–1, –5?

Answer 1

Hello there!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`((-5)-1=-6)/((-1)-1=-2)=(-6)/(-2)=(-6/2)/(-2/2)=(-3)/(-1)=3`

Therefore, the slope is 3.

Answer is 3.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
