Question

Find the slope between (-5, 2) and ( -2, -10 )

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

Slope- M= y2-y1/ x2-y2

First Step:

label:

-5=x1

2=y1

-2=x2

-10=y2

= -10 minus 2 over -2 minus -5

Second Step:

-10 minus 2 = -12

-2 minus -5 = 3

= -12/3= -4/1= -4

Answer 2

-4 is the slope between (-5, 2) (-2, -10)

Explanation:

The slope is equal to m

The formula for finding the slope is

`m = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)`
