Question

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

Answer 1

to find the slope you need to use the slope formula
m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)


using the points given (3, -1) as (x1, y1)
and (-2, -5) as (x2, y2)


you will get

m = (-1 - (-5)) / (3 - (-2))
= (-1 + 5)/ (3 + 2)
= (4/5)

m = 4/5
