Question

What is the slope of (-5,-1) (5,5)? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

`slope = ( - 1 - 5)/( - 5 - 5) = ( - 6)/( - 10) = ( 3)/( 5) \\`

Answer 2

Slope = 3/5

Explanation:

Slope = change in y /change in x

That’s y2 - y1 /x2 - x1

Given

x1 = -5

y1 = -1

x2 = 5

y2 = 5

Slope = 5-(-1) /5 -(-5)

Negative negative gives positive

= 5 +1 /5 + 5

= 6/10

Divide by two

= 3/5
