Question

What is the slope of a line through (-5, -10) and (-1, 5)

Answer 1

m = 15/4

Explanation:

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-5 , -10)

(x₂ , y₂) = (-1 , 5)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

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

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

m = (15)/(4)

m = 15/4 is your answer.
