Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,-5) and

(-3, -6)? Write your answer in simplest form.​

Answer 1

slope = 1

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 6)

m =
`(-6-(-5))/(-3-(-2))` =
`(-6+5)/(-3+2)` =
`(-1)/(-1)` = 1
