Question

Which point below would you use with the point (-2, -5) to get a line with a slope of -1?

(-6, 1)
(4, 1)
(1, 4)
(-1, -6)

Answer 1

`\displaystyle (-1, -6)`

Explanation:

Find the rate of change [slope]:

`\displaystyle (-y_1 + y_2)/(-x_1 + x_2) = m \\ \\ (5 - 6)/(2 - 1) = -(1)/(1) = -1`
