Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -5)(−2,−5) and (-3, -6) ?(−3,−6)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Use rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-6 + 5) / (-3 + 2)

-1 / -1

= 1

So, the slope of the line is 1.
