Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -1) and (-2, -5)?

Answer 1

change in y/ change in x.
that is the formula for slope.
so (-5-(-1))/(-2-3)

Answer 2

from -2 to 3 is 5 units to the right.
from -5 to -1 is 4 units up
slope is \(\frac{4}{5}\)

Answer 3

thank you!
