Question

Find the slope of (0.-5)and (-2,1)

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

the formula for this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

This is (1-(-5))/((-2)-0)

Which is also 6/-2

which is -3

Answer 2

`\text{Find the slope using the slope formula:}\\\\(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\\\text{Plug in and solve:}\\\\(1-(-5))/(-2-0)\\\\(1+5)/(-2-0)\\\\(6)/(-2-0)\\\\(6)/(-2)\\\\\text{Divide:}\\\\-3\\\\\boxed{\text{Slope: -3}}`
