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

my calc is being stupid plz help

Answer 1

Who needs calcs? :3
Slope is all about differences so just get the difference of the y-values and divide it by the difference of the x-values.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

\[slope=\frac{(y2−y1)}{(x2−x1)}=\frac{−5−3}{5−(−3)}=\frac{−8}{5+3}=\frac{−8}{8}=−1\]
