Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (−2,−4) and)(3,−9)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

The slope is -1

Explanation:

Formula for finding slope:
`(rise)/(run) = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)`

we got the points:

(−2,−4) and)(3,−9)

let's plug them in.

[-9-(-4)] / [3-(-2)] =

-5 / 5 = -1
