Question

What is the slope through the line of (5, -6) and (2, 3)

Answer 1

Hello:

--> this problem wants us to calculate the slope between (5, -6) and (2, 3)

So we are given two points:

--> (x1, y1): (5, -6)

--> (x2,y2): (2, 3)

Let's consider our formula needed:

`\text{Slope} = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(3--6)/(2-5) =(9)/(-3) =-3`

Thus our slope is -3

Answer: -3
