Question

What is the slope of the line RS that contains the points R(-2, -3), S(3, -5)
HELP ASAP

Answer 1

`slope = (-2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points ,
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is ,

`\implies slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

• Using this we have ,

`\implies slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\implies slope = (-5+3)/(3+2)\\\\\implies \boxed{\boxed{slope = (-2)/(5)}}`
