Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?

slope = -1
slope = 0
slope = 1
no slope

Answer 1

The Slope Is -1

Explanation:

Answer 2

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

in this problem we have

`A(-3,5)\ B(5,-3)`

substitute the values in the formula

`m=(-3-5)/(5+3)`

`m=(-8)/(8)`

`m=-1`

therefore

the answer is the option

`slope=-1`
