Question

HELP (0,-3) and (5,-5) what is the slope

Answer 1

Hi! I can help you with joy! :)

• Use the slope formula:
• 
  `\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
• Where
• y2 is the y-coordinate of the second point (in this case, it's equal to -5)
• y1 is the y-coordinate of the first point (in this case, it's equal to -3)
• x2 is the x-coordinate of the 2nd point (in this case, x2=5)
• x1 is the x-coordinate of the 1st point (in this case, x1=0)
• Plug in the values:
• 
  `\displaystyle(-5-(-3))/(5-0) \\(-5+3)/(5)`
• 
  `\displaystyle(-2)/(5)`
• 
  `\displaystyle-(2)/(5)`

Answer:

`\huge\boxed{\bold{Slope=\displaystyle-(2)/(5) }}`

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

-2/5

Explanation:

To find the slope, we use the slope formula

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

= ( -5 - -3)/( 5 - 0)

= ( -5+3)/( 5-0)

= -2/5
