Given:

Two points are (5,-2) and (6,-5).

Required:

Find the slope for the given set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passes through from the point


(x_1,y_1)\text{ and \lparen x}_2,y_2)

is given by the formula:


slope\text{ m =}(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Thus the slope of the given points is:


\begin{gathered} m=(-5-(-2))/(6-5) \\ =(-5+2)/(1) \\ =-3 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The slope for the given point set is -3.f
