my computer dont get pictures can u please explain @Mokeira

mokeira · Answer

$$m=\frac{ \Delta y }{\Delta x }$$
$$m=\frac{ (-4--5) }{ -2-3 }$$
$$m=\frac{ 1 }{-5 }$$
Is that better

yes

texaschic101 · Answer

slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-2,-4)...x1 = -2 and y1 = -4
(3,-5)....x2 = 3 and y2 = -5

now sub
slope = (-5 - (-4) / (3 - (-2)
slope = (-5 + 4) / (3 + 2)
slope = -1/5

yep....its -1/5

:) Thought it would help if you knew the slope formula rather then just writing numbers
