Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?

slope = -1
slope = 0
slope = 1
no slope

Answer 1

\[\Delta x = 8\]\[\Delta y = -8\]

Answer 2

The slope between two points is equal to the difference in their y values divided by the difference in their x values:
\[m=\Delta y/\Delta x= \frac{ -3-5 }{ 5--3 } = -8/8=-1\]

Answer 3
