Question

Find the slope between (3,0) and (-2,-5).

a) m = 5/1
b) m = 1
c) m = -1/2
d) m = -2

Answer 1

The slope between the points (3,0) and (-2,-5) is 1. Hence, b) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between two points, we use the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

In this case, the points are (3,0) and (-2,-5). Substituting the values into the formula, we get: m = (-5 - 0) / (-2 - 3) = -5 / -5 = 1.

Therefore, the slope between the two points is 1.
