Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-3,-3) (-5-2)

Answer 1

• (-3,-3)
• (-5,-2)

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Slope=m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto m=(-2+3)/(-5+3)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto m=(1)/(-2)`

Answer 2

• - 1/2

Explanation:

Given points:

• (-3,-3) and (-5-2)

Use slope formula:

• 
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-2-(-3))/(-5-(-3))=1/-2=-1/2`
