Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the two points (-2,-5,) and (-3,6). Show your work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

`(x_1, \:y_1) =(-2,\: -5) \:\: \&\:\: (x_2, \:y_2) =(-3,\: 6)\\\\`

Slope of line in two point form is given as:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\\\</p><p>=(6-(-5))/(-3-(-2))\\\\</p><p>=(6+5)/(-3+2)\\\\</p><p>=(11)/(-1)\\\\</p><p>\therefore m= -11`

Thus slope of given line is - 11.
