Question

what is the slope of the line passes through the points (-3, -3) and (-5, -2) in simplest form help me

Answer 1

Slope,
`m=(-1)/(2)`

Explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line passes through the points (-3, -3) and (-5, -2).

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Put x₁ = -3, y₁ = -3, x₂ =-5 and y₂ = -2

So,

`m=(-2-(-3))/(-5-(-3))\\\\m=(-1)/(2)`

So, the slope of the line is
`(-1)/(2)`.
