Question

Calculate the slope of the line that goes through the points (1, −5) and (0, −10

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Use the formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Plug in the numbers/coordinates accordingly:

`m=(-10+5)/(0-1)`

`m=(-5)/(-1)` →
`m=(5)/(1)`

m = 5

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

We can find the slope given two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-10- -5)/(0 -1)

(-10+5)/(-1)

- 5/-1
