Question

What is the slope of (-2,-6) and (-7,-5)?

Answer 1

-1/5

Explanation:

Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

-6 - -5 / -2 - -7

Convert: -6 + 5 / -2 + 7

-1/5

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

= -1/5

Explanation:

To find the slope we use

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

= ( -5 - -6)/(-7 - -2)

( -5 +6)/(-7 +2)

1/-5

= -1/5
