Question

If you are givent two points on a line, (5,6) and (-5, -4), what is the slope of the line!

Answer 1

m = -1

Explanation:

Formula we'll use:
`(y2)/(x2) -(y1)/(x1) =m`

m = slope.

y2 = -4

x2 = -5

y1 = 6

x1 = 5

Substitute -4, -5, 6, 5 into the formula:

`(-4)/(-5) -(6)/(5) =`

Subtract both top and bottom:

m = -10/-10

m = -1
