Question

Find the slope of the straight line that passes through (–2, –4) and (3, –5).
A. -1/5
B. m = –1
C. 1/5
D. m = 1

Answer 1

slope is m:\[m = \frac{ y _{2} - y _{1} }{ x _{2} - x _{1} }\]where your 2 points are of the form:\[(x _{1}, y _{1})\]and\[(x _{2}, y _{2})\]

Answer 2

Here, x1 = -2, y1 = -4, x2 = 3, y2 = -5

Just substitute and simplify.

Answer 3

Good luck to you in all of your studies, and thx for the recognition! @lolkaryna
